I received the ordered biltong spices and had to make a quick decision on what I will use to dry the biltong. A feed bucket at North40 fit the bill, so I decided to use it for now as my biltong dryer. I also bought a nice AC Infinity fan with variable speed, but had to cut a bit into the bucket lid since the fan was a bit bigger than the circle area where it was supposed to fit in. I did not add a light to the bucket. The fan is an AXIAL fan series, Roof fan kit, AC Powered, more than a computer fan.

For the biltong I used eye of round roast from Costco, sliced about 1" thick. I have used a different process before, but this time I added Worcestershire sauce and vinegar with the spices for a marinate, instead of a dry rub of the spices. After about 5 days, this is the result. A mild nice tasting biltong. Spices are definitely not overpowering. The taste is similar to what I was used to in South Africa.
