Jerky is a great choice for the beginning raw foodist. Lex Rooker thoroughly demonstrates with pictures and explicit directions how to construct an inexpensive alternative to the modern dehydrator products on the market. Selection, cutting, seasoning and hanging instructions are also included, taking you step by step to the delicious finished product. Homemade jerky is far superior to the sugar, soy and artificial smoke-laden imitation jerky available for purchase. It is an ancient way to preserve meat, and it makes a great natural snack the entire family will enjoy.

This is a wonderful how-to, and I look forward to building this jerky drier… however, most PVC is not rated for food use, and PVC 40 is only rated for using with drinking water. There are also warnings that PVCs release carcinogens and other toxins when heated… due to these reasons I plan to build this dryer using wooden rods in place of the PVC tubing.
