Dehydrator
-
My son really wants to make some restructured jerky and I just bought the attachment for my stuffer. What do you guys recommend for a decent dehydrator. I will probably do fruits and veggies on it too.
ND Mike The Sausage Maker has some that are good.

I am wanting to get something different myself but the probably close to 30 year old (I believe snackmaster American harvest) I have still works great. It wasn’t real expensive back then either. I have about 10-12 trays I can stack on top. . It something to get started. Was just watching a video and some guy was comparing his Excalibur to some cheaper Amazon dehydrators and his choice was one of the cheaper ones for the money

ND Mike Good dehydrators are really had to find right now, they are all stuck on ships. I’ve been shopping for a decent one. I use my oven right now, I have a convection feature on it that allows drying at either 140 or 190 degrees. I dry the veggies on a cheap Harbor Freight unit that takes way to long.

LEM mighty bite 10 tray. I have the older model of this one and it is awesome. Holds 10 lbs of meat! Kinda pricey but worth it. Hardest part is storing the behemith

ND Mike My husband got me a Cosori dehydrator for our anniversary this year. I’m really happy with it so far. Dried my herbs all summer long and made whole muscle jerky two nights ago. Turned out awesome. Will be doing restructured jerky soon.

Excalibur dehydrators are tops in my book, I own 2. Mine are the 9 tray model # on their Excalibur’s site is 3926TB it has a 26 hour timer, and a thermostat on top as well. It is very affordable and IT GET’S THE JOB DONE!!! I have dried fruit, made granola, I do all my jerky & beef sticks on it (much quicker) I use a jerky gun and you can make 9 trays of jerky in about 6 hours, I also make my dog treats on it. I will tell you this I bought mine off of E Bay and saved about $125.00 on each machine, Excalibur’s web site is pretty pricy. You can also buy replacement screen inserts, etc. for the machine on E Bay at a much cheaper price. These dehydrator’s are the best I have ever owned nothing digital, or fancy, it simply does what it is suppose to do. Hope this helps you out!!!

ND Mike Second on johnsbrewhouse & everything has gone pricy too. We had been using the old Farberware countertop convection oven I bought my wife back in the early 80s. It still looks great, but a temp controller went out on it a few years ago & finally found that part & now something else went out on it, I think just an element, but having trouble finding that now too & parts have gotten pricey on some things. I probably need to get her a new one now. We use the smoker for peppers, jerky, etc. & it works great for those things, but it would not work too well for fruits & veggies I don’t think.

johnsbrewhouse Our oven is down now too & I cannot get parts for it or get anyone to work on it. Come to find out to make things worse it was an expensive high dollar hunk of junk apparently to start with. Finding 40" ovens these days is even worse. Apparently, there are some good ones out there, but very expensive & most dual fuel rather than electric & I cannot afford to do that again right now. Some of the oven can work good & ours also did, when it worked.
