I have tried it, it's delicious. I'm not interested in making it, though. It doesn't fit into my business at all. The meat I use to make my jerky is from a butcher down the street, a cash only operation, and they grind the meat for me almost daily. I pay $4.99/lb (sometimes less) and the meat is all local, and I like supporting my local businesses this way. I don't have the counter space nor plans for making any other type of dried meat, thanks.
