    All is not lost. Slice it thinly. I have done biltong in a dehydrator before.

    Update on the biltong:

    Has been in the box for about a week now, this is how it looks:

    Cut one up, still a bit too red on the inside for my liking, but very tasty:

    I made up a batch last night using Hein's recipe and method modified for the dehydrator. I halved the meat qty and everything else except for the 1L of hot water at the end. Set the dehydrator to "1" and turned it on this morning at 6am. It was completely done at 5pm this evening when I came home from work.

    Awesome.

    That's awesome Scottrods, might have to look at getting a dehydrator now.

    For my hunting trips I usually do 250g bags for lunch too, keeps you going and also replaces the salts lost through sweating. Good stuff mate.

    now if I just screwed my Smokai to the side of that drying box we would have an awesome tool

    very cool, iv done thin little strips in the dehydrator before and they were great, we didnt flavor it tho, Id say that would be nicer

    Nice, would you be so kind as to name the brand and model of your dehydrator?

    Thank you.

    Ever so much, Ta, I have one of those and have been using it with .5cm beef slices but your report has encouraged me to experiment with some of our home kill of a "greater calibre".

    Thread resurrection.

    Anyone had much success with the old oven on low heat?

    Internet suggests that it works. But the mum in law isn't so keen on some goat or meat in her dehydrator.

    I went to uni with young Hein. He was easily top of our year, bloody nice guy too. A loss to the forum as he hasn't visited since 2013 it seems

    Two beer crates, thick paper, and a staple gun. You can make this for $10 in 20 mins mate, you're supposed to be a tradie in the making!
    Identify your target beyond all doubt
