User questions & answers

Question:	is it made in the usa
Answer:	It makes excellent jerky. Instructions are included about jerky but we found our favorite marinade on line. Most jerky has salt in it as part of the curing. My recipe uses soy sauce. It must be cut in strips 1/4 inch thick or less. Time consuming but worth it. I do 20 pounds of meat at a time and it lasts 6 months without spoiling. Just be sure it's dry and look out for fatty deposits.
Question:	Is this BPA free
Answer:	The entire device is 14" in diameter and 8" tall. Each tray is 14" in diameter by about 1.5" tall.
Question:	What is the model number for extra trays, screens and fruit roll trays
Answer:	The trays are made from good quality plastic.
Question:	How loud does the machine run
Answer:	I used a ThermoPop stuck in the middle vertically from the side, it takes a while to stabilize and get an accurate reading because it draws air from the sides. But it settles in around 140-145.

User questions & answers

Question:	quiet
Answer:	I wouldn't want to sleep where it was going.. we keep it on a table in an entryway room next to the kitchen. Not whisper quiet, but quite acceptable.
Question:	How many screen does this come with
Answer:	It comes with four and it may burn out in a few uses if you do not use all four based on the experience of others who have owned it. Please read the reviews
Question:	Does this unit have a built in timer
Answer:	No timer or power switch. Just a temperature control. To time it, you would need an external timer switch rated for at least 700 watts -- the power rating on the heater/blower unit. The timer will need a three-prong (grounded) outlet, as well. One listed on Amazon is the "Woods 50009 Indoor 7-Day Heavy Duty Digital Outlet Timer with 2-Outlets."
Question:	My heating element no longer works..can it be replaced
Answer:	Beware! I replaced the fuse and seemed to work fine but found out the thermostat no longer kept the temperature that it was set at. It never cooled down and was not able to be regulated any more. It started to melt my trays and made them mis-shapened before I caught what was happening. Just an FYI for all us "do it your selfers" ou there! (Nesco Gardenmaster Dehydrator)
