Anyone tried the jerky dryer?

I made 4 pounds venison jerky the other night and I smoked it for two hours in my CS 55 and then put it in one of those cheesy dehydraters for about three hours. It is fantastic. My wife loves it and she is not the biggest fan of wild game. Hy Mountain seasoning measured and cured as directed in the packaging.

I may need to load up the smoke pole and go get another deer before the end of the year. It shouldn't be too tough to do...you have to lock your car at church around here so people don't leave a deer in your vehicle like zucchini.

That's a good one Bart!

Looks pretty simple! Would that be considered a modification and void warrenty? It looks like a coffee can, and an old computer power supply fan would do about the same. I may build one. I want to smoke some Buffalo summer sausage, and it might help dry things out a bit! good post!

Bart-B-Q,

Looks like I need to move to Crosslake, MN. Or at least take a hunting trip there. I floated 7 miles of river stomping every island and swamp I could find today and didn't see one deer...

rocky-taco, I purchased the smokin-tex jerky fan and am returning it as we speak...it was not what I had expected. I use a wet cure and had smoked the beef for 2 hrs at 175 and then used the "fan" for several hrs after, you have to empty the wood box and then turn the "fan" on at the temp of 135. To be quite honest, use Qdogs method for jerky and it will be much better than the results I got. The "fan" doesn't dissipate the moisture as fast as just opening the door... Just my thoughts. I so wanted this to be the "next best thing". Oh well...
