    The fan I'm using circulates the air just enough to keep the temperature even throughout the smoker. I put a fan speed control switch on it but really didn't need it. I'm not sure what the RPM is of the fan but I could try and find it out for you. I bought a fan with a shaft long enough to go...

    Smoking Jerky Question

    Now that I'm back into smoking I'm going to do a batch of venison jerky. I have done many batches in a dehydrator using a base marinade/cure of soy sauce, brown and liquid smoke plus many spices. I believe the soy and brown sugar was like a mild cure. Could be wrong but never had a problem with...

    pmush, Thanks for the compliment. I have done a couple of modifications to the unit over the summer and it's working great. The fan is a great addition to the smoker.

    Brett, Have you installed a fan yet? The fan keeps my temps pretty uniform. I put one sensor from my controller towards the top and one from my thermometer half way down. I can then monitor the temp and choose what fan speed makes the temps even. Bill

    Brett, Go to the link I posted above and I bought the model K612. It is a 3000 rpm fan with a 1/4" diameter shaft and is 2.7" long. Plenty of length to get through the 1" thick wall of my smoker. It's a single speed motor and I'm using a three speed fan control. It's a slider type with a rocker...

    Brett, I bought the motor through the "emotorstore.com". Find the page for shaded pole motors or try this link. They have many different sizes and shaft lengths. Very fast turn around time. I bought the fan blade from Grainger but you can find them elsewhere on the internet. . The fan is 3000...

    Here are some pics of the unit almost completed. Just a few minor things to finish then make any fine tuning adjustments. Ran a couple of racks of ribs through it and they were tasty. Fan and drip pan view. 1500 watt heating element and separate compartment for AMNPS. I also installed a...
