How long do you folks leave your jerky in a food-dehydrator for end results? Also, can someone recommend a really good jerky marinade for me.
Thanks folks.

depends how thick you cut it. I cut it 1/8 of an inch. Takes 4-6 hrs at 155.
3tsp liquid smoke
1tsp celery salt
1tsp garlic powder
3tsp black pepper
3tsp red pepper seeds(more or less)
1tsp cinnamon
1tsp ginger
1tsp salt
1/2 cup each soy sauce and worestershire
1 cup boiling water
Mix everything then add boiling water. Marinade for 24hrs

I forgot 3 tbsp honey(very important)

Sounds good. Thank you. Will try it with the next batch.

Try this cajun recipe for rub. cover the meat with it, let it sit in fridge for a few hours, then dry meat. It is my favorite.

2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
