Pandora, here are some pics of the homemade jerky process.

Early yesterday morning I picked up a round roast to experiment with. I
normally use sirloin tip for beef jerky. By mid morning the strips were
cut and marinating. Here's the pics.

final product - I put 2 strips by themselves so you have a better
ideas what it looks like.

Note - this is not the entire batch on the plate as the dehydrator is
still going. It will be another hour or two before all the jerky is
finished.
