Ended up with 11 bags, totaling 89.3 ounces, starting weight of 179.8 ounces for a yield of 49.56%...$10.46/Lb for the (dried and trimmed)) meat, add in seasoning, wood, electricity...so probably $15/Lb..

Tastes great though!

That looks amazing!  I'll dispose of it properly for you :)

That looks great. The meat slicer sure does help. I still use a fillet knife, so I'm jealous! LOL!

This is an awesome blog on how to make jerky.  Such a time consuming process it's no wonder why jerky costs so much money

Dert, when your slicer start to leave tails on the meat, it past time to sharpen the blade of the slicer.  I do that several times while slicing meat up.

I don't have a sharpener....it did not come with one, any good sources out there for a Hobart #1612??

I finally bought a sharpener for the old girl...~$100 online, not a cool one that fits on top, but bolts to the adjustment plate...

Where did you find the Hobart #1612 for $ 279.00 as shown on the sticker in your Q view?

 

[dert]

I actually got it for $220 because of the lack of sharpener...

Local Craig's list ad from a pawn shop in St. Paul MN- he had it for less than a day!

I've been looking on and off for the better part of 10 years!
