Negative.

I made a few batches, classic salt and sugar recipes. I'm using a LEM commercial dehydrator that pumps out 10# every 4-5 hours. Moisture content is bang on.

I don't like the potential freezer flavor and we had a pretty banner year on elk so freezer would be hard pressed to store a hot dog right now. It's in the 20's so storage in the shop is fine for now....but, I've heard of dry canning this stuff with success, but never done it. I have 10 quarts of dry morels from over a year ago that have kept perfectly.....but they are not moist meat.
