Start with lean meats. Trim excess fat from your cuts completely before slicing since fat turns rancid much faster than muscle tissue during drying.

Control humidity carefully. Airflow matters just as much as heat. Ensure you slice meat strips evenly so moisture escapes uniformly without creating tough centers.

Weigh your results first. Document what weight raw meat produces per batch of finished jerky. You will quickly calculate whether the time investment makes financial sense.
