First time making jerky in the new Cabela's dehydrator. Big disappointment as it can not reach the 160 deg temp it is advertised as being capable of. 106 is the safe temp the FDA requires for safe to eat jerky so I can not recommend this machine for that use. The Cabela's seasoning turned out great. Here are the USDA specs https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/...
