I just ordered one - Never done it. Hoping to dry out some of the things i harvest from the garden and also possibly some meals for a family trip to the Boundary Waters in a few weeks.
Any one else into this?

There are several threads on this and my advice is to grab one when they're available. They aren't the best, but surely the best dollar to quality ratio on the market.

Lots of youtube videos out there too.
Totally agree. I believe it was your thread that spark my interest in buying the Aldi dehydrator in the first place. Thank you so much SG, it's going on 2 years now and no problems.
OP I believe I paid a little more than $30 out the door for mine, so if you don't already have one, the Aldi one is definitely worth checking our.

You guys want to make good jerky, learn to see the grain in the meat and slice across it. Slice with it and you could yank a few teeth loose.
We have to kill a bunch of mountain deer this year and I'll be doing some in the dehydrator and some in the smoke house. My wife doesn't like them very smokey and I tell her she's broken.

Always up for more pics of your smokehouse archery rob - that thing was boss!
I picked up a Nesco FD-75 along with more trays and the fruit trays. Hoping to dry the hoard of tomatoes and peppers I have coming.

I have a dehydrator I’ve been working it nearly 24/7. All vegetables and fruits though, no jerky. Between the garden (beans, peas, carrots, radishes, zucchini/squash, and watermelons) and some grocery store shopping (pineapples, apples, bananas, and strawberries) there’s a lot to process. We’re loading up for a long winter.
We dehydrate the vegetables/fruit and vacuum seal it in a Food Saver. It’s been working well for years.

How do you eat the dried vegetables? Do you re hydrate them or just eat them dry?
You can do either. I like putting some zucchini in with spaghetti sauce. I just dump the zucchini chips in as I heat up the sauce.

I sliced up an entire salmon fillet. Marinaded it overnight and placed it in the dehydrator.
Salmon jerky is delicious!

Squaw candy in a smoker is even better....
We've had an Excalibur for about 10 years. I don't find that we get a great deal of use out of it. First couple of years, we dehydrated everything. Canning and freezing were much more usable as storage goes. YMMV

What is the texture of that Zuchinni? Have you tried it fried in butter, which is how we like it. I don't like to can it because it is just mush to us and deal with using freezer space..

Im sure. I have a wee smoker. Dehydrator holds a lot more with less tending. Was surprised at the "smoke flavor" the liquid smoke imparted.
I should build a small smokehouse. Damn those Last Alaskan shows!! So inspirational!

LOL exactly. I want a jon boat big enough to haul a moose, lumber for my cabin, and a winter's supply of halibut.
Post up the salmon recipe. How dry is it?
Check out ArcheryRob's smoke house.... very cool... I think its in the outdoor subform.

Here is my stuff on my smokehouse. It is more of a hot smoker. I can cold smoke but I have to maintain it a lot. Open the damper and close it mostly until smoke comes out the exhaust and then open it back up. So that every so often. A lot of people use exterior gas as it is easier.
BTW, the wife is not thrilled with me right now. I have a plan to make the fire box larger with a wood fired over over it. I got the stink eye on it, but once she gets a job i'll just start on it.
