Hi All
I have a 6 rack digital unit and I just got an extra 4 racks from Canadian Tire for 19.99. I was wondering what the implications/consequences are if I add these 4 racks (inverted) to do jerky?? (this would give me a total of 10 racks)
Will the process time change or are there any other things to consider?
Thank you
Norm
several people invert racks as you are indicating to do jerky and other items with very little problems, also when using a pair of racks one inverted as a pair lay the meat in one direction on the bottom rack with a little space between the pieces and 90 degrees on the very next rack so you have flow through the meat ,, repeat as necessary for all of your jerky or meat...
good luck on your jerky
Thank you very much for the input, I will be cooking it tomorrow.

I (as have many) converted my 6 rack to a twelve rack by adding additional rack holders in between the existing one. Basically it is just aluminum angle cut to size and screwed in the cabinet.
Did adding 6 racks have any effect on the cooking times or the smoke distribution?
Thanks
Norm
Actually it gives you more flexibility. I have the dual element mod so temps aren't really an issue.
If you layered it with jerky such that there isn't any space for the heat to get thru, yes it will effect the heat patterns.
I use 4 inverted racks with the 6 normal (10 total) and rotate racks every hour or so when making jerky and can not really tell any difference from using only 6....I like the added capacity
