Well I guess I must bare my soul and fess up.  I use a dehydrator for jerky and dare I say a little of the liqued stuff for smoke flavor in my jerky.  Ok crucify me!  LOL

I did the smoker then dehydrator combo 2 weekends ago with some "London Broil" (I know that's a cooking method and not a cut of meat, but I'm not sure which cut it was - Top round maybe?).

I hung the cured, marinated and sliced pieces on toothpicks between the slats on the top grate of my WSM and used about 6 pieces of BB Kingsford and the smallest slivers of pecan wood I could find.  There were left on there for about 3 hours then into the dehydrator for about 5 hours or so.  They turned out fantastic.
 
I am a dehydrator fan myself .. I use liq smoke in my jerky and then dry it till it snaps like a twig ...I love it chewy ..and  lol I dont eat it as fast ...oh  and Im a noob here so could someone tell me what a GOSM is ?

Thanks
 
I have never gone the smoking method. Ever since making my own jerky recipes, I've always used a Nesco dehydrator. By this point, I've gotten very comfortable with it and seems very easy to use and clean up after. I started a craft jerky site to promote my brand of jerky flavors since being well received by friends and family. Perhaps one day I will try smoking and see the difference.

I use my dehydrator a lot !!!!   drying vegetables, fruits,herbs and spices...  I could use my MES without smoke...  I can control the heat from close to ambient upward...   but the dehydrator is fan forced and so easy to use the MES is out of the question....
