ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 It's good to be honest Chef. * * * * * you have to soak your wood before using it . . . Lots of jerky experts on a sports website - - big surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 how much smoke does this give off? I am wondering if this would be able to be used on a 2nd(of 3) floor apartment balcony without pissing off my neighbors. thoughts? I've been wondering the same. I'd buy one tommorow if I knew it'd be acceptable, and not just turn into something I wasn't able to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 My understanding is it can't be a modern freezer, and this may be regular smokers not cold smokers. The old freezers '50-60's don't have the bad chemicals and insulation in them and are food grade stainless.. but I'll defer to Chef on this... Sorry, I'm not using it as a smoker. I hang cure sopressata in there and age cheese. how much smoke does this give off? I am wondering if this would be able to be used on a 2nd(of 3) floor apartment balcony without pissing off my neighbors. thoughts? I used to use my smoker in the couryard of my apartment complex. I didn't piss them off, I drove them crazy. They'd all come down to ask what I was smoking this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 This is a decent dehydrator http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0090WOCN0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&keywords=food%20dehydrator&qid=1351257371&sr=8-2 I plan on building a kick ass smoker this winter and doing some BBQ competitions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chump Change Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 While it certainly isn't as good as slicing roasts, we normally grind venison and mix it with a cure you can get from Cabelas or Bass Pro. My buddy has this caulking gun looking "Jerkey Shooter" also from Cabelas and we run strips on his dehydrator. A few hours later, we've got jerky. It is similar to the Lawry's product you can buy at the store. Another way I make jerky using chunks of venison is to simply use a filet knife and cut a roast into thin chunks or strips. I place them in a bowl with teriyaki and let it marinate in the fridga overnight. I'll then place the strips on foil lined cookie sheet, place my oven on warm and put them in. I leave the over slightly open to vent out the moisture and every 30 minutes or so i'll flip the strips over as the moisture will tend to gather down below. It's not high speed, but it works! Good luck w/ whatever you choose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
