    The fan I'm using circulates the air just enough to keep the temperature even throughout the smoker. I put a fan speed control switch on it but really didn't need it. I'm not sure what the RPM is of the fan but I could try and find it out for you. I bought a fan with a shaft long enough to go...

    Smoking Jerky Question

    Now that I'm back into smoking I'm going to do a batch of venison jerky. I have done many batches in a dehydrator using a base marinade/cure of soy sauce, brown and liquid smoke plus many spices. I believe the soy and brown sugar was like a mild cure. Could be wrong but never had a problem with...

    pmush, Thanks for the compliment. I have done a couple of modifications to the unit over the summer and it's working great. The fan is a great addition to the smoker. As you can see in the pics the motor is mounted outside so the heat does not bother it. The temp inside is pretty uniform from...

    Brett, Have you installed a fan yet? The fan keeps my temps pretty uniform. I put one sensor from my controller towards the top and one from my thermometer half way down. I can then monitor the temp and choose what fan speed makes the temps even. Bill

    Brett, Go to the link I posted above and I bought the model K612. It is a 3000 rpm fan with a 1/4" diameter shaft and is 2.7" long. Plenty of length to get through the 1" thick wall of my smoker. It's a single speed motor and I'm using a three speed fan control. It's a slider type with a rocker...

    Brett, I bought the motor through the "emotorstore.com". Find the page for shaded pole motors or try this link. They have many different sizes and shaft lengths. Very fast turn around time. I bought the fan blade from Grainger but you can find them elsewhere on the internet. . The fan is 3000...

    Here are some pics of the unit almost completed. Just a few minor things to finish then make any fine tuning adjustments. Ran a couple of racks of ribs through it and they were tasty. Fan and drip pan view. 1500 watt heating element and separate compartment for AMNPS. I also installed a...
