    I have the seafood rack and a frogmat.  The frogmat is superior for sure.  You can turn any of the racks into a seafood rack with it and it's non stick.  I'd just get an extra regular rack and some frog mats seperately.

    Grimm,  Nope, no condensation on the top of the smoker.  Although I don't think it would hurt anything, it is stainless after all  I do notice a bit of condensation on the fan itself when I first turn it on and it's pulling the big amount of moisture that's built up for the 30 min smoke with...

    Well, what put me on to this was the accessory that smokin-it has for sale now.  I emailed Steve about it and he said that without the fan the smoker doesn't have enough air passing through to dry jerky.  But obviously with the fan it works great.

    Made some beef jerky with my #2 and the fan box I made.  I used eye of round and cut it across the grain at 1/4 inch.  I used the Hi-Mountain sweet with heat jerky cure again for 24 hours. Last time I made jerky some of the pieces were dry on the outside but still moist on the inside and I...

    Pumped chicken breast jerky.

    So we got a box of frozen chicken breasts for free from the grocery store as a promotion.  These are the ones that have been pumped with sodium (680mg per 100g!) that I've asked my wife to stop buying because I don't agree with buying salt water. However she asked if I could turn them into...

    Seemed pretty stable, but I didn't watch it too closely.

    Tried to keep it at 150, then when it was taking so long I let it get up to 165 or so.  I bought some beef (eye of round I think), I'm going to try to do it on Wednesday at 140f.

    Well, here's the results of my jerky experiment.  Started with 2.5 lbs of deer, and using my fancy expensive and complicated slicing device, I trimmed and sliced it to about 2 pounds of sliced deer.  I used a table saw to cut the wood slats to act as a jerky slicer, it actually works pretty...
