Food dehydrator for mainly jerky

[Ricer2231]

I am seriously considering picking up a food dehydrator to make jerky. I absolutely love jerky and it's so daggone expensive I wanna try making it for a change. I'm kinda leaning towards the Cabelas brand model number IK-541647. Any opinions/ advice/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I've made a lot of jerky in a dehydrator. All I had was a cheap one but it worked fine for several years until the heating element went out. That looks like a nice one.

I'll post one of my favorite marinades in a bit.

Here is my Teriyaki recipe:

1 cup Japanese shoyu (soy sauce)
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup Mirin
1/2 cup Sake

Mix and reduce using medium heat. Stores in fridge well.

There are some good store bought teriyaki sauces but we prefer the homemade.
