First you don't cook jerky you slowly dry it at low temp. Just how do you make yourjerky? what equipment do you use, temp, time? It could be you are drying too fast at too high a temp. and slicing the meat too thin.

we got a dehyrdator and dehydrate it from 8to 10 hours .....
thanks for the tip rbduck

Slice thin and set the dehydrator to 155'F and it should be done in 6 hours (7-8hrs at the very most if sliced thick).

test it after 5 or 6 hrs mine usually takes 6hrs depending on thickness
