    First Jerky attempt in my converted fridge smoker

    Thanks for the tip Dave, I'll give that a shot on my next smoke. If I remove the stack should I damper the 4" hole at the back of the smoker?

    Thanks Dave. I think that's exactly what it was as a few minutes later it was up. Funny thing was my other posts gave me a message that it had to be approved by a moderator.

    First Jerky attempt in my converted fridge smoker

    Not sure as this was my first attempt with this recipe and I've never done pork jerky.  I know when smoking beef and pork ribs, beef seems to absorb salt much more than pork does.

    First Jerky attempt in my converted fridge smoker

    Thanks Dutch!  Kids are funny aren't they? It was beef, not pork.  I guess espaldilla can be either, but this was beef.  If was a little heavy on the salt, not bad, but I will try the same subs next time but cut out 1TBS of the salt.  Thanks!

    First Jerky attempt in my converted fridge smoker

    Got my smoker done and decided to try my first load of jerky.  Purchased 6lbs of "espaldilla" from a local mexican market that was sliced to about 1/8".  I believe espaldilla is from the shoulder.  It ran me $2.99/lb. I trimmed right under a lb of fat from my original 6lbs. I used a recipe...

    Cool Smoke Fridge Build

    Got her all running and did my first load of Jerky this weekend.  Figured I get some more pics of the finished fridge on here: Here is the 1550 watt finned strip heater from Grainger.  The wires are run up through 3/4" pipe that I will seal with hi-temp silicone.  This picture was before I...
