Well I got a dehydrator for xmas and a jerky gun.

I grinded up the sausage last night with our meat grinder about 4 pounds and mixed in a package of jerky mix from fleet farm that says it's for 4 lbs of meat. I also added in the package of meat cure and added 4 cups of water as what the package says on it. I mixed everything up in a bowl and am I going to let it marinade and put it on the dehydrator tonight.

Anyone know if I am doing this right and how long does it take for the jerky to get done in the dehydrator?

Thanks for your help!!
