Blowin' Smoke
Full Fledged Farker
Aside from the obvious "my smoker"...
I have a WSM, an OC Smokehouse, and a pellet pooper. My go to has been my pellet pooper because I can load it up, set it at 160, and let it do its thing. But I have to use the LEM Jerky trays and hang each piece, which is very time consuming. I usually try to do 10-12 lbs at a time, and that draws out the time a lot due to over crowding. My last batch took almost 12 hours, with some being over cooked due to their arrangement in the trays.
My dehydrator is much easier, I just don't get real smoke. I have to add liquid smoke (blasphemy). I feel like an electric vertical cabinet with a ton of racks close together may be a good option...but I'm interested to hear some thoughts.
