Poshcrafting jerky tower

[Mang]

One has had a little trouble with rodents, a bally mouse has masticated areas of one of my garden parasols! I have used the remaining parts to construct a poshcrafting jerky tower so that my butler can make me some in my backgarden on demand. Pip pip Jeeves :) I've done this short blog write up aboiut it's construction, and in it is a link to a longer warts and all blog page. http://austinlill.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/diy-poshcraft-jerky-tower-short-version.html

Mang.

That is excellent mate, well one. :happy-clapping:

I have an old catering larder fridge in my shed which I plan to turn into a jerky maker/drier, but in the meantime I might knock up one the same as yours.

Do you get a bbq taste to the meat once dried and what seasonings are you using, if any.

Cheers Neil

Great when a plan comes togther!!!such a simple idea to contain the smoke,n to a traditional design.(got a couple in garage that could be put into service).instead of pipping to a tin box.
Anyone needng rubs etc.Google BILTONG.plenty of info n spices available.

I included what seasoning I used on the blog page ;) I used dry shop purchased ones this time but I also like Terikayi (or Soy) sauce, garlic and grated ginger too but wet mixes can take a bit longer. As for the taste, yep spot on as it's just a posh set up surrounding a traditional process.

Is making jerky classed as smoking? The wet mix I mentioned is put on overnight and I usually do the same for dry too. As long as it's a bit salty and tasty that's all I do. I tip my hat to your preparation :)

I usually soak mine overnight (12-18 hours) in the fridge. This lets the meat really take on the brine and seasonings. A friend of mine soaks his for around 24. By the time I pull it out of the fridge and bring it back to room temperature, it is around 24 hours before putting in dehydrator or smoker.

An ingenious idea - I might have to steal it! :)




I also like Terikayi (or Soy) sauce


If you were doing this during the apocalypse could you do a TEOTWAWKI sauce? ;)

I'd call it "COLD SMOKING",your imparting the wood smoke to it!
