Smoker or Dehydrator

[3DaughterMan]

I searched the archives and couldn't find which has worked best and how and which model. I want to buy one and, of course, as my name implies, I am on a budget. Also, what do you guys think of the the "caulk gun" style jerky shooters. I have never made my own jerky and this year I am going to do it. Also, do those cheap-o food dehydrator they sell on TV really work. Thanks

My wife bought me a smoker two years ago for Christmas that I have thoroughly enjoyed. It is made by a company called New Braunfels. She got mine at an Academy sports store. New Braunfels has is on the web at www.nbsmoker.com. The model I have is the Bandera and like I said, has been great. It was only $200. Great investment. Hope this helps.

I use my smoker for fish and my dehydrator for jerky.
