Beef Jerky

You are going to love that.

Welcome to the Asylum, by the way.

I have YET to dry any fruit, but I only bought it for jerky anyway. Always remember that initially you need to
dry for an hour at the highest setting, then you can turn it down and go to sleep or go out in the yard or whatever.
You can dry it on high til it's DONE, but if you are planning on going to work or to bed while it is jerking, make sure
it spends one hour on high for bacterial reasons. I am sure it will be in your instructions. Also, I do not
use any packaged cure, I just slather it in sauce and slap it on the machine. If you wanted to put it away for
months, then go with the cure mixes they make. I just eat/sell it too fast.
