    The problem here is two-fold. 1st and biggest is that they are all formulated differently. Look at Habanero Lime, Dill Pickle or Pizza Jerky. All of those are formulated for both a stick and a jerky, which in my mind means they are going to be fine in either. Then look at the jalapeno jerky, that is .625 lb where jalapeno snack stick is 1.5 lb so is using that on a restructured jerky going to impart the level of flavor you want? Basically, yes, it is going to be fine to use as a restructured, it just might not have as strong of a flavor. I would argue that Dill, Hab Lime or Pizza should not be changed at all, just use it at the normal rate. For any others IF you want a stronger flavor I’d bump it by 10% more seasoning per lb and do a smaller test batch to see if that gives you what you want. The 2nd issue is that taste is so subjective. We have a few seasonings like Honey BBQ that I hate but other people say they love it. Then I have made things that I’ve loved and others thought had too little or too much taste. We need a scovile unit for taste. Tremblays. “That burger had 5 Tremblays of flavor.”

    @Blippo I want to say @Joe-Hell found one somewhere for around 400. Joe, am I right? Other than that yes, they will be $1000. What are you wanting to do with it? You might be able to use one from a local university that has a meat lab if you are just trying to confirm something just once.

    @Parksider I played around with the idea but in my mind the extra sugar in the mixture would make the injection difficult so I did not purse it any further, I might need to try it though! Also, I flipped https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CkUDYgyGVM live today and here is the meatgistics post. @Joe-Hell Free is usually the best price point!

    @Gomez Might be sticking because of the sugar in the seasoning. You might try drying it in the oven on parchment paper sprayed with non stick spray (pam) then transfer to your trays also sprayed. But I am guessing it is the sugar that is giving you the trouble.

    @Austin I have a Dehydrator that needs trays, and these look like the same ones.
