Next time. Going to Costco this weekend...
Any jerky makers here?

I can see the flame go out when I open the door. Unless it comes back on but I doubt it.
Would you buy the same dehydrator? I should get one. I would like to make jerky and dried fruit and dog treats. I continually buy less commercial food so this would end that many more.
I have the next size larger COSORI, the $160 size, and it's great. Two pounds of meat will fill it up. If you plan to limit size to 1 lb. then the cheaper, smaller, unit will be okay.
I'd buy it again, yes. I was deciding between this one and the next size up. I was afraid this one wouldn't make enough in one batch, but for my needs, it ended up working well. i can fit a total of 2.5-3 pounds of meat on the 5 trays this one has. If the meat is cut thicker, than I can fit over 3 lbs. Super thin sliced meat I may only be able to fit 2 lbs in one batch.
In the most recent batch (pics above), I was able to fit 1.5 lbs of chicken and 1.1 lbs of salmon with almost no room to spare. If you think you'd cook more than 3 lbs at a time, then get the next size up.
Interesting. Are you spacing the pieces further apart than I am? Or using thinner cuts? See my comments above.
I don't pack mine as tightly as you do. Not saying you are wrong, just saying what I do.
My opinion, for 2+ lb batches, I'd go up a size.
Costco Butterball ground turkey, 93/7, 1.75 lb, $3.08/lb.
One of these days I'll measure, but not today. Used low sodium soy sauce, some teraki sauce, Meat Church Holy Voodoo BBQ rub seasoning, Red pepper flakes, small shot of bread crumbs, mixed, and into the refrig until tomorrow afternoon.

I'm backpedaling on my machine size recommendation. Just put in a batch of ground turkey, and I had two full trays empty, and I didn't pack the others particularly tight either.
