    Fish jerky dog treats

    I have an electric smoker and a reliable source of small minnows. I would like to dehydrate them for my dog's treats. I wouldn't use smoke or seasoning. Would it be advantageous to salt them first before I dried them? Can anyone provide a simple recipe or method for doing this? Thank you

    First attempt

    Wood range

    Here is the cooker we've used for more years than I care to recall. I grew up with one of these in the kitchen and have owned and used one ever since as the cooler weather permits. When I got married my wife took right to it. She is an expert. Today she roasted an excellent chicken in the...

    Greetings everyone.

    New guy from Michigan here. I am new to all this, but I hope to learn. I got interested in making jerky and things kind of expanded from there. So here I am.
