Jerky Maker

[cactuskid]

A friend of mine gave me this metal box and I wondered what can I do with it? So I decided to make me a jerky maker out of it. Here are some pictures. It works good and holds the temp. right at 125. So next week you can bet what I'll be doing.

Looks like it needs smoke in it, too shiney.

Well made a stack of jerky for me and the grand kids. The jerky maker works pretty good.

It was just a metal box?  Did you have to fabricate the shelves.   What did you use for a smoke source?     Glad you guys enjoyed your jerky,  bet that's great snacks for school.

Yes I fabricated the shelves. I have a 1000 watt electric element I use for heat. I just use it to dry the jerky. Next time I might try a little smoke. I just figure all the spices you put in the jery is all you need.
