Yep! One of the few things DH asked for on our registry was a dehydrator. I don't eat the stuff, but he likes it. I highly recommend the 60ish dollar one from Bed, Bath, & Beyond and their kit for squeezing the meat, etc. that comes with spices. He actually uses ground beef and it comes out really good. He's also tried just using the preservatives and using his own choices for marinades, which has also come out well.
