what are good and cheap and quick ways to make jerky out of ground

Go get you a Jerky Shooter, ten you can get some jerky seasoning and mix with your ground, then just "shoot" it into your dehydrator, and there you go, jerky..

how much are dehydrators

you can get a 5 tray dehydrator for like 45 bucks....thats what i got...got it from walmart and it works like a charm

o now they are 20 bucks

Wow - if you can get one for $20$ I would jump on that! Thats probably a basic model.All you really need.

Now is surely the time to buy one with all the Xmas cut throat price wars goin on at WalMart,K-Mart etc...Thats when I bought mine about 10yrs ago.

Makes drying large batches of Jerky alot easier - along with easier clean up.

The next toy you need to buy is a DryVac machine for all your jerky and venison.Thats another topic

maggott jerky?
