I have room in my electric smoker for another grate. As I looked I found I could get the same size as a jerky tray. I have to buy 3 cooking grates but can by 2 jerky trays for less.

Is a jerky tray as durable as a cooking grate?
 
I have switched to hanging my jerky strips from a skewer instead of using trays. I get more even and quicker drying. In my Smokin-It #3, it used to take 4 racks for 5# of meat, using skewers, I can get almost 7# on 1 rack by hanging
