If you are using the "gun" to extrude the mixture I think it will take about as long as my cut meat strips - which is about 10 - 12 hours (in AZ where the humidity is low). when I do my jerky I always do it about 14 hours because I want it "crispy" - it's for the dogs and I want it to break apart easily, not be "chewy". My friend does hamburger and turkey/chicken extruded jerky and says she dries it about 12 hours.

Have you ever made jerky? A typical jerky loses half of its starting weight in moisture, so 2:1 is the proper ratio. "Low moisture" jerky can actually be 1/3 the starting weight, a 3:1 ratio. So 2-3 pounds of beef will make 1 pound of jerky. So, you are actually asking why 2-3 lbs for $20.00? Try making it yourself, I have. It's also made here in the US so the ingredients are the actual ingredients. No guess work on mystery ingredients or if fresh or spoiled. Good quality and made in the USA. Reminds me of those that bargain shop for motorcycle helmets. What value do you place on your head or in this case your dogs health? Have you ever made jerky?

I would guess about 50 minutes. The few times that I have used this cooker has lead me to believe that cook times are approximately 10 minutes per pound. Just make sure to use the thermometer so you never have to guess when it is done cooking.

I mix it half Pea powder and half with Spirutein. That gives me 60 days worth of powder at 2 shakes per day.

I have never used it to dehydrate meat but the manufacture claims you can make jerky in this. If that is your purpose I suggest you get the 6 or more tray model.

Use it quite abit. Chips burn fast, soaking them in water for about 1/2 hr slows that down. For longer burn/smoke use wood chunks for bigger cuts of meat. I like chips for burgers more then anything else. Mixing different types of wood produces nice flavors to. IE: Oak/Mesquite & Oak/Hickory are good choices

1 pound, results are great if you can find 93% fat Free meat. I've waited until London Broil has gone on sale for $1.99 a pound, then have the butcher trim all the fat off...(You will still pay for the fat) then grind the rest of the meat into hamburger...With that approach you'll have some of the best Jerky you can make with this kit...

everything I have dried comes out fine. I especially like beef jerky but have dried apples, pineapple, zuckiniy {sp?} stainless is the way to go. Expensive but you only cry once -:}

10-12 minutes per pound but there is no preheating time required. Having done deep fried and using the Big Easy, Total time is about the same.

A five pounder will take at least an hour and 15 min. Make sure you have it set at the proper temp. I will use400 to start and then reduce to 375. Good Luck...

Never really timed it. Just put it on with specified amount of water and forget it. Always turns out perfect. If i were to guess, id. say maybe 10 minutes topd. About 6 ounces of waterfor hardboiled.

For about 5 to 8 hours yes, I usually set it up late at night and when I get up in the morning it is done, or early mornings and when you get home from work it is done, if you making Jerky. Meat takes the longest time.
