Does anyone know the CFM of the Jerky Dryer Sold by Smoken-Tex and Smokin-It? I would like to build my own but I need the to know CFM first. I have viewed a few forums where people tried different fan speeds and blade pitch. And some pulled to much air out of the smoke chamber and others not enough .
I even considered going with a variable speed fan so I had a range of adjustment but still need to know what a fixed fan CFM is using first?
I am also considering some type of filter between the smoke chamber and the fan to stop creosote buildup on the fan?
I really appreciate it if anyone can share your invention and theory with me.
Has anyone had any experience in smoke jerky of making cured product like salami in these smokin-it electric smokers?
I have the analog model so there is a swing in temperature during on and off cycles.
Obviously I need to keep the temperature low enough so my fat doesn't melt because of temperature rising to high?
Is this possible without using a PID for to control temperature?
Also my other concern is enough heat to make the wood smolder for smoke? or do I need to add a smoke generator?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Have a great day!
