pensrock go to your local Lowes (if your lucky) or Homer Depot and get a 4" duct booster fan for $25 spend the rest of the $65 on meat.

Thanks for the info, does the CFM matter?  Probably the lower the better.

I don't think you need to worry to much about the  CFM. With no smoke, you could use the vent to control the airflow if the tower temp dropped to much.

Exactly Hawk, BTW mine is a 6" I just went to look it was the smallest one they had.

Thanks, I'm not sure where the nearest Home Depot is, but that is a great price. I'll have to look around some.

I don't have one close by but their shipping is only 6.50. So for 20 bucks I think I'm going to go that route.

Thanks, I better get a trash can ready to catch all the goodies. Or better yet, if you stop for a minute, I can hand off some cheese to you!   :D

I like to walk threw life on the path of least resistance. But sometimes the path needs a good kick in the ass.

how does everyone like to do there jerky? i hear people talking about doing it all in the DBS and some talking about doing half the time in the smoker and finishing the rest in the dehydrator. what are the pros and cons to both of these technique's. I'm new to the smoker part of making jerky but not the dehydrating part. any input would be appreciated.

thanks Joe

I did that once :o.   There was lots of smoke on the jerky and I used the dehydrator in the house where it was warmer.    Mistake.   House smelled smokie for days and needless to say my wife wasn't too pleased.

Tried out the gardenmaster and it worked great. Took just half the time as my old one and I did not have to rotate the trays. Once I figure out how to post some piocs I will do so. Piker
