Just received early Christmas Present. Nesco Dehydrator. My old one you just plug in and was ready 8 hours later. This new one has temp settings. So, my question. What temp ya'll recommend, and for how long. Thank you for any advice.

I have used them for years and love them. Their seasoning is the best I've found as well. I just go to their website and order it. Never liked the stuff you find on the shelfs. Anyhow, mine is labeled jerky at 160. If yours does not say the directions certainly should. I run 5 dehydrators at a time (we kill 20-25 deer a year) for 3 hours 15 mins a batch.

I use an electric smoker but close to the same... 175 for 4 hours or more depending on how tough you like it.. I run thin cuts for at least 4

I always start Jerky at 150° F for the first two hours to prevent it from skinning over and retaining too much moisture, then finish at 160-ish for however long it takes.

Marinate in refrigerator 12 hrs.  Season with whatever you like (I like to sprinkle with coarse ground white and black pepper).  Place in smoker, food drier, oven, whatever.  Use low heat the first couple of hours, then increase to at least 160° F. but not over 170 to finish.  After Jerky has cooled, place in some type of container (NOT PLASTIC).  Then take a good look at your handiwork, because this about the last time you'll see it. It goes FAST! Everyone loves it.

And don't forget to make some sausage. You don't have to smoke it in anything fancy, but the nicer the smoker...the easier it is. I did this batch in a quick makeshift smoker made of tin. You just need to be able to control the heat and move smoke and heat across the meat.  Venison sausage with High Temp Mozzarella cheese and Jalapeno, YUM....!

That jerky and sausage looks great. I use a Jerky Cannon and make my jerky with ground venison. Mine takes about 4.5 hours at the 165 setting on my Nesco dehydrator, but I also have 4 extra trays on mine so I can do a full 5lb batch at once.
I also cheat and use the LEM seasoning. Love the HOT.

If you're running less than 160, you need to add cure to your marinade. I use cure and dry at 110 overnight.

While I helped drag three deer out of the Tennessee woods last weekend, I have yet to score. I've been wanting to make deer jerky on my BGE since I got it last year.
coffee spelled backwards is eeffoc. I don't give eeffoc until I have my morning coffee.
