Anyone make thick jerky?

[nny243]

I usually slice my jerky meat about 1/8 - 1/4 inch, with 1/4 inch being on the large size. I' m interested in slicing it thicker and seeing what it is like, make 3/8 inch. Anyone do this? How does it turn out?

Thanks

I would assume it would be ok only it will take about 25-30% longer to dry.

I' ve made it pretty thick and it is better. It just takes longer. My least favorite part of thin jerky is it can get crispy if you leave it on just a little too long.
