Sliced worked well but because started with stew meat and small cut of chuck the pieces shrivelled and were pretty small.
Grinder (not quite thawed meat) and double barrel jerky gun worked really well, the batches that went through dehydrator worked better than those that went through oven. Both tore well but those from the oven tougher to chew - texture (maybe flavour) bit better from dehydrator batches. Batches that started a little warmer and ended little cooler perhaps worked best.
Five tray dehydrator too small capacity though (hence use of oven), too long, too many cycles. Now need larger dehydrator.
Shared with various people at work, started some good conversations about hunting and such. Do it again soon.
Thanks for the input.
PS - care to share the recipe?
