    Hi Red, Craig said it will be done tomorrow.  The grates are done.  I forgot how many grates he made at this point.  I think there will be 8.  How far would you space them?  I am using this to make Jerky so I don't need a lot of clearance.  Any thoughts?  I think he is painting tomorrow...

    Hi Red, Good call.  The fire box will look like just my Dyna-Glo.  This thing really is a beast.  I can't wait to see the grates in it and then paint.  As Craig sends me pictures, I will continue to post them here. Here are the latest pictures

    questions on curing jerky

    Thanks JD and JJ. I've been making jerky for almost 25 years and always used soy. I'm not complaining because everyone loves it but I was to make something with bourbon and I think not using soy would help from muddling the flavor of the the bourbon. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks...

    questions on curing jerky

    So what your saying is as long as the liquid solution contains 1-2% of salt based on the weight of the meat, the amount of liquid is irrelevant (with in reason of course)?

    questions on curing jerky

    Hi JJ, Thanks for the reply.  I'm sorry but I'm not clear what you mean. If I have 1 ounce of salt, how much liquid should I use?  if we are dealing with weight for the salt, and volume for the liquid, I'm uncertain about the conversion. Can you please give me a few examples?  I'm sure I...
