were you able to get the discount email?

Are there any videos on the PK? I would like to take a further look into it.

That was my first thought, but the reviews on their vertical smokers make me reconsider.

I’m the market for an electric smoker.

Currently I use a PitBoss 820, which works perfectly for the jerky I make. I have started to increase the amount made, therefore need another unit. With a newborn and employment obligations, an electric smoker will work best. Any suggestions are much appreciated !

Once the jerky finishes tumbling, would you leave it in the tumbler overnight, or transfer it to a bag/container.

I have to transfer the meat b/c I need the tumbler for the next batch.

OK good to know. I have been turning on the dehydrator (set at 160) and after 10-15 min, I would put on the meat. Around the 4 hr mark, Id remove it and be finished

you’re staying you place it in the over at 350 for 10 (varies), then place on dehydrator? Or do you even use the oven if you are using straight dehydrator?

as Joe Hell advised in an earlier thread, after holding for 12hrs or overnight after tumbling, is there a need to “pad” the meat before putting it on the dehydrator, or just go from bag to dehydrator.

Previous process:
sliced eye of round 1/4"

combine spices and Allegro marinate for 24 hrs
(would submerge meat in solution)

once removed from solution, would damp and place on dehydrator at 160 degrees for 4-5 hrs

-The jerky tastes great and really not complaints, but I am trying to experiment with the method listed in this discussion. For some reason, I feel that the meat HAS to be marinated in solution or it will not turn out properly. As I mentioned before, I do have a Vacuum tumble on order, and will try using glycerine with the meat, but still am second guessing myself. :confounded_face:

This is all starting to become more clear! Thanks. If i am not expecting to make any more jerky that day, I should be able to start the drying process after the tumble is complete, correct?

thanks Jonathon
