Smoker vs Dehydrator for Jerky

Hi Brad- I was planning on making jerky this weekend. I have a smoker and a dehydrator. Which do you recommend using and why?

Thanks,

Great question and there is no easy answer! This is the great thing about being your own game processor because you can manufacture products to you own taste! Using a smoker you have the benefit of applying that good natural wood smoked flavor to your jerky. When using a dehydrator you will have to add liquid smoke flavor to your initial meat product. So I would ask a question back to you... Which flavor do you like the best? Liquid smoke or natural?

Thanks,
Brad
