Just got a excaliber dehydrator and recipes call for liquid smoke... Rather than using that, is there a way / technique to smoke first, then dehydrate?
You can smoke at about 150 degrees for 1-2 hours then transfer to your new dehydrator.
You might take a look at this old post I made. It gives you a few hints on how to make jerky using a jerky board. It also gives a way to extract fat from fatty meat. You want to make your jerky with as lean of meat as possible. You can look at the link below.

Thank you
Thanks Kirby, that's a great technique you shared.
