Hi every one I was at Cabela's this Saturday and was looking at the Commercial 80L dehydrator. I am thinking about getting one. If the one's that have one what are your likes and dislike. It would be mostly for beef jerky.
 
Not sure about that exact model but i just got my first 1 last week.. Nesco-american harvest fd-80... Made my first jerky over the weekend,, I love it... good luck.....
 
We had the larger one at the university I worked at. Used it for jerkey, fruits and vegetables and even for gummy candies. It worked well for us. I found my dropped cell phone in the snow one morning, took off the cover, removed the battery and placed it in the dehydrator and by the end of work it was dried out and still works.
 
Chris I've been looking at the Cabelas dehydrators too let me know if you get one and how you like it
 
It looks like it is well built. I would like to get a good one I hate getting something that does not last. Right now you can get $50.00 off on the 80 along with free shipping.
 
I agree it looks like a good unit I just bought a 10 tray used off brand to try out before I upgrade to a commercial type unit. It would be nice to get a good one thats going to last a long time. Dang it now I'm gonna have to go look at them again and I haven't even done my first jerky in the other one yet

Go to there web page and order it from there you will get the $50 off.
 
The good part is that if you dont like it Cabela's will take it back. Cant wait to see what you pick.
 
have the cabelas 80l dehydrator for around 6-8 years now. first off they are a unit... top notch construction and quality throughout. my sister has the larger one as well. turn out some awesome dehydrated fruits, veggies, and jerky. great machine and highly recomend. i had my share of cheaper units and the results were not even close.
 
Thanks for the reply it looks like it is well built. I am going to get one. I will be checking to see if it goes on sale.
 
I ordered the dehydrater from Cabela's and they or on back order. I will get it in May???
 
Dang, that seems like a long time for backorder... I have the big 160 liter from cabelas and like it a lot. I got mine off of Craigs list.

Yeah I may give them some time. Then I will give Cabela's a call maybe they can get one to me sooner.

I have done this many times in my Excalibur!!!
 
I have both the Cabelas 80L and digital 10 tray. Both work very good.
 
I suggest the Excalbur 9 tray, the company that makes them is family owned and they are made here is the USA.

Not sure which cabelas unit you are looking at, but one is a Chinese knock off of the Excalibur.
