Ok guys I'm getting ready to add the fan to mine. I was wondering especially from people who have done it and makes jerky. I was going to start a dehydrator for my jerky but if I add the fan whats the difference? Figure heat at 120-140 degrees with the fan running is a basic dehydrator. I'm also adding 8 more racks for space.  Now is there still any sense building a dehydrator?

I have the Fan mod and 12 racks combined with a PID.  Works very well for me, but I'm sure others will be around with more advice.

The Bradley with the fan and a PID works great as a dehydrator ;)

Just how much smokey flavor you get when doing fruit and such? Will it put off a kid or maybe some one who dont like smoke? Or will they not detect it?

You are going to get smokey flavor in your fruit I imagine so maybe it does not totally replace a dehydrator. ::)

I ordered my fan kit last week so this interests me as well.

Well going to try myself I guess! I bought mine from Fair-chase as a package deal. Already made up. Just have to drill hole and mount. Also will add the other element while doing it. I can see there being a small taste maybe but can't imagine it would be an issue. Especially after putting a acid and a sugar on some. I started to day and didn't have all my tools here. Boy had them at his house LOL. As Always! I am thinking If this don't work out as a dehydrator I will make one to hold my 12 racks and use a Bradley element and the extra Auber PID to control temp. Maybe add a fan too. But as soon as done we will try the Deer jerky first.

Sorry Fair-chase is the user that scrapped out his Bradley. He followed the mod on recipe site. He posted it all on here and since I wanted to do all those mods I bought the whole package with 8 racks, Smoke generator, PID,3  bubba pucks.2 boxes of hickory ,element and all gaurds, vpan and electrical for 180.00 I thought it was a good price and included all I need to do the 12 rack mod with a few extras I may need down the road.

But I seen the fan package on yard and pool I believe.

Pretty much the same as I got. I like my rails better he made two aluminum that go all the way across to the edge. Should really make the fan solid.
