Dry Jerky

[woodman3]

Today I tried a new way to make my jerky safe I heated up the meat with marinade to 167 in my wifes double boiler. Within one hour the jerky was dry and brittle. Never had it do this before . Any ideas?

I have found that when I heat the meat in the marinade this happens too.
