Found some matches.
With my cooker being a converted freezer I have the option to put the evaporator fans back in to help dry out the meat. Just put in on @ 10:30. Ill post some completed picks. Wish me luck. This is my first attempt.

What temp are you drying , it needs to be low about 135 if I remember correctly, fans are a good idea
Looking forward to the outcome.

I've smoked jerky at 150 degrees. you can even go upwards of 170 with no problems. Running a smoker with a real fire you'll have that sometimes.
Can't wait for the results

May i suggest hanging the jerky with toothpicks, you can get much more in there. And 160-70ish are good temps.

I started at 150 but changed it to 160 half way through. I did think about hanging them with skewers but I got lazy. Thanks for the pointer.

Very nice!! Looks like a good batch of jerky right there. I always make the temps hit 160, for safety purposes. Good option, having the fans in there.

Looks awesome! How do you like the converted freezer? I've been thinking of doing one like that myself. Can I get some more pictures of the freezer and tips to converting it? It would be much appreciated!

Knows what a fatty is.
I made me one many years ago from an old upright freezer, built a firebox for underneath and had a single stack at top with a fan inside to stack to do the drying after smoking. I just screwed some wood slats to the sides and had stainless rods going across to hang from. We I moved into a new house I left it at the old one.
