used about 3.5 lbs of venison and 1.25 lb of lean beef.  Con Yeager sugar cure and hillbilly jerky seasoning.

i went to cabelas friday and this commercial 80L unit was 70 bucks off so i had to have it after reviewing several threads on here which seemed to all highly recommend this unit. 

i was going to cold smoke then dehydrate but i decided to try it just this way first,,,next batch ill cold smoke first.

thank you all for sharing your expertise on here.  im mostly a reader but will post when i make stuff.  any/all criticism and pointers welcomed!!!
