Greetings,

My name is Marty and I'm from Liberty, Utah in the USA. My husband is a hunter and fisherman. I want to preserve this meat and have been hesitate to make my own jerky, pemmican and smoke fish. I have an electric presto food dehydrator, a masterbuilt electric smokehouse, a char broil big easy roaster and several dutch oven as well as a volcano. Would appreciate any advise.

I have figured out that I do not want to dehydrate anything outside when it's really cold and you can dry out meat too much in the oven. My first jerky project is now moldy. Wondering if I could wash it off and re-hydrate it? Would it be safe to eat with the mold on it? 

Thanks 

Marty

Hello and welcome Marty, can't answer your questions 'cause

I'm pretty much a newbie too.

But if you jump right out into the forums and ask,

you will get answers.

Have fun.

Thanks BDC3 and Gearjammer.

I'm excited to learn more about smoking and drying. This looks like the place to be.
