A cylinder member which opens upward and downward and has upper and lower rims is mounted on bracket means of the grill to thereby define a cylindrical dehydrating chamber above the grill and spaced apart from the grill to provide an opening between the lower rim and the pan member to allow air passage therebetween. A circular lid cover is also disclosed movably mounted at the upper rim of the cylinder member to define a top of the cylindrical chamber disposed below. The lid cover includes means for mounting a heating element to extend from the lid into the cylindrical chamber to provide the heat source for the dehydration of meat. The process is disclosed utilizing the meat dehydrator which includes the steps of slicing raw lean meat into strips and then optionally marinading the strips in a seasoning salt solution. The meat strips are then positioned on the grill inside the cylindrical chamber adjacent the bottom. The ambient air inside the chamber is then heated by the heating element means to a temperature of from about 150.degree. to 200.degree. F. which is maintained inside the chamber for a continuous period of time from about four to six hours. A dehydrated meat comestible is thereby produced by the utilization of the disclosed apparatus and process having the moisture removed to provide a preserved tasteful food product.
