I think the concern is from everyone posting here is that sodium nitrate could be deadly depending on the amount used! One of the reason it is diluted by using salt at 93.75 % to 6.25% sodium nitrate. This is because in its pure form it would make it easier to use to much when mixing and etc...
good luck
If you go that route I would really be concerned about over salting and the product ending up to salty?
The pink cure consist of the 6.25% sodium nitrate and 93.75% salt.

One other thing.
"I set my temp about 160 to keep temp at 120 and the fan pulls enough moisture out to get the jerky dry in 5-6 hours. "

Lozinomaker,
So do you think 23 CFM is the magic number for these fans? I have viewed a few forums where people tried different fan speeds and blade pitch. And some pulled to much air out of the smoke chamber and others not enough .
