Well sort of kinda.
This was the Virgin run of Jerky in the Big Boy smoker. Normally I could only do 4 pound batchs at a time in the 4 rack Bradley. Last night I mixed up an 8 pound batch and wanted to see how many pounds I could get per rack. I only bought 2 racks for the trial run. Got the G-Mat (Frog mat) cut up to the size of the racks and proceeded to shoot the jerky. Filled up the 2 racks and had a bit left over so had to use 2 Bradley racks to complete the job.
Got a rack all filled up and ready for the smoker
Had to use 2 Bradley racks to do the excess.

All finished and ready to cut and put in a paper bag and fridge overnight then vac seal
Put 3 hrs of Hickory on them and had the cabinet temp a 150. The thing that I love about the Big Boy is no more rotating racks every hour. I did not touch the racks the entire time and after 6 1/2 hrs they were finished. Don't think I will ever need a dehydrator as I can smoke and dehydrate at the same time.
