    Thickest jerky ever?

    Toothpick idea made me laugh out loud I just finished cutting stainless rods for 12 racks for a homemade fuel tank smoker I think I'll take that advice and try the toothpick idea thankfully I only cut half of the steel so far. I wish I thought of that one a long time ago lol

    Thickest jerky ever?

    I am planning to make a lot of jerky all at once. I usually cut the meat 3/16 to 1/4" thick but it takes up a lot of space and I have to cook it all in stages. I'm thinking of cooking 2" thick slabs with slits cut at 1/4" intervals or I can cut them 1/4" and layer them and just keep turning all...

    One big question

    A rectangle/square diesel fuel tank. its prob 75 or 100 gallon if I had to guess, I just wonder if anyone else has or has seen a smoke stack retracted under the top by several inches or feet and what the outcome was. I figure it will hold more heat and smoke before exiting out of the stack but I...

    One big question

    Im building a smoker from an old fuel tank, I built a firebox for on its side and im in the process of welding it all to a frame. I haven't finished the main part yet and was thinking of keeping the smoke stack down about halfway inside of the body and cutting a small square out of all of the...
