    Excellent to know there is another using this smoker. I've made a couple of modifications so far. I've drilled holes along the wood chip holder, and have filled the water holder area with play sand. I have a stainless steel water bowl (dog dish) and will be making a couple of other tweaks before...

    21 hours in the dehydrator. IT was 150. They taste more like a slim jim than pepperoni. I plan on removing the collagen casing. Overall, I'm satisfied with this recipe and method
