    Horrible taste when made in custom wood smoker

    The vent holes fixed the issue. Jerky looks identical to the batch in the dehydrator and takes nearly identical as well. No nasty bitter dirt taste. Incredible! Thank you!

    It is made out of regular untreated lumber you would get from Lowes. Nothing special or fancy.

    Built a smoker out of wood after looking around at different plans. We use 2 portable cook tops, 1 for the wood chips, and 1 additional for heat. We stay around 145 - 155F. The jerky looks good, but tastes horrible. Has a very nasty wood / bitter / sour taste. If made in the store bought...
