I have been using the same recipe for years now, I use yoshitas, honey, hot sauce, and a little water. slice meat(elk, deer, beef) and put into zip loc bag for a day or two in fridge flipping once or twice a day.. then I rack it on cabalas oven jerky racks these things are killer. crack oven at 185 degrees till done, when we lived in Monroe and were on natural gas it would be 6-8 hours. now in Sequim and on electric about 4 hours. keeps in a zip loc counter top for 3-4 weeks even big batches doesn’t make it longer than this.. everyone that tries it likes it, although I will say with deer it is just good... but everything else is great...
