I made a 17lb batch of jerky 2 flavors. This one is teriyaki 8lb 6oz batch. I added 4TBL spoons of red pepper flakes. Run in the Excalibur dehydrator for 7hrs. Actual jerky yield was 3lb 15oz. So little over 50% weight reduction. This was ground meat using a weston jerky cannon. LEM teriyaki seasoning. It is very good, I think one of my favorites now. Vac bagged 3-4oz per bag got 15bags and one 6oz bag for my son. Thats about 9-11 4in pieces per bag. The other batch is a sweet and hot, nice sweet not so much hot so I added 4tsp of cayenne pepper to a 8lb 10oz batch. Run it in the dehydrator for 7hrs also (no pictures for it but turn out very well and another favorite flavor). LEM sweet and hot seasoning kit.
