its certainly not an all day process.. search box fan jerky it takes maybe an hour to prep the meat and marinade, and then 10 mins for put them on the furnace filters and strap them to the box fan.. I got the idea off food tv but use my own marinade
10 oz worcestershire sauce
5 oz soy sauce
1/8 cup lemon juice
1/8 cup red pepper
1/2 bottle of tobasco
1/8 cup of onion salt
half a bottle of liquid smoke..2 oz
thats a "cajun" recipe, but its the shit i've made about 15 lbs so far, and tried it in the oven, in the dehydrator, microwave and lastly the box fan way, which came out the best and move efficient. the oven was good but took forever to do
