Had a blast doing my first trial of jerky! Did two loads - chicken in 7 hrs, pork took 9 hrs (per load). The mix could use a tad more seasoning next time - 1tbsp per lb was good for the sliced pieces but the ground is a faint taste. Should be set for awhile - Lol. Overall extremely happy! Doing an experiment with heads today - filled the other trays with apples and cucumbers. Thought I'd eat more apples but those crunchy cucumbers are disappearing fast
