    Questions about building a 30 Gallon Reverse Flow Smoker

    Extremely nice. Do you plan to keep the reverse flow plate dry? I've seen plans which place a lip at the cool end of the plate which allows you to fill it with sand for better heat stability and/or water for a little steam to assist smoke penetration.

A smokehouse should have a very thin blue smoke flow inside; thin enough to still be able to breath when yoi go in. This is so because the curing...

    First Jerky attempt in my converted fridge smoker

    With the economy going to pot, I need to ask: Is there a sustainable market for jerkey? I've been looking at maybe starting a second business with a hot dog cart but jerkey sounds less time constarining. Feedback please.

    First Jerky attempt in my converted fridge smoker

    I know a lot of jerky makers that don't do half as good looking a product as you do, Uni. Hmmm, now I'm wondering about process. What flavor Mr. Yoshida do you use?
