While mine is not Cabelas, just store bought from that guys that endorses just about everything, it does fine. It has six or so trays. I can normally fit a pound of deer burger and use the inch wide jerky shooter to fill all the trays. I use store bought cure mix also. I rotate the trays if Im home to do it that way. As well as flip individual pieces over on the trays too. Yep, Im anal but it works for me. Takes around eight or so hours till its done. Have tried the stix but not much so the jury is still out on that one. With family and friends its gone in in way less time. Brad (who has to hide and eat his jerky if he wants any) Davis
