shit yeah, jerky rules. yet to find a vegan jerky that isn't mush, and most commercial jerky is shit as they use refridgerated compression dehydrators and shitloads of sugar.
Dont fuck around, get an excalibur dehydrator. Even drying, decent cleaning, reliable as shit. I ran 10 of them when i started my biz and upgraded to a 2 zone commercial one. I've since had to go bigger, but still use the classic heat & air dehydrator as it makes for a way better jerky.
