Thinkng about making a Biltong/Jerky Hot Box

I worked out that mine costs about 38p per day in electricity if on for 24 hours.
The rest of the cost you need to work out based on what you are dehydrating.

It isn't about saving money its about choosing your own flavours when it comes to Jerky/Biltong and as I have discovered with fruit it is about quality. So much more flavour and sweeter than shop bought. Texture better too.

FYI unless you slice the fruit up too thick it only takes 24-48 hours. Basically the Mrs buys any reduced fruit she see's when out shopping and in it goes.

Been a month since I did any meat ffs

I can make about a kilo of jerky for about £10 (If I use beef skirt)
its about £4.00 to buy in 250g packets if you buy manufactured

Also used skirt but have wondered if there would be any discernible change in quality of finished product using better cuts of beef ??? Not about to try it with fillet mind :-)

Silverside is a good alternative, but a tad more expensive
