Flat Racks vs Hanging for Jerky

[motolife313-2]

These are in the smoker now. Next time I may try and hang them by tooth pics. I made this whole smoker myself and these stainless steel racks. The whole smoker is actually stainless. I think you’re right. Maybe 3 times or even more the jerky if hanging. I can only fit 9 pounds on these 2 racks and that turns to 4.5 pounds when done and that don’t leave much for me after taking it to work

Yeah use tooth picks & it will work great. I bet with the tooth pick method you can get a lot more jerky in it. Nice work on the smoker build.

1 good thing is that grease will drip off, 1 bad thing is seasonings can fall off also, gotta pick your battles
