How good is that ^ dehydrator.

 

[browndog]

Yeah, when you are making jerky I don't think you can beat them as they are designed to dehydrate food not smoke it. Its a 10 shelf job that can hold about 3kg of wet meat.

I have started my drum smoker build but I need some pipe for inlets and outlets. My drum has a standard bung down bottom(stainless ex honey drum) i want that as inlet and a 2" exhaust up top. I see on america lots people by a pre threaded pipe and it screws straight in any ideas where to buy this have tried my local metal supplier but theirs is all rural galvanised fence stuff. Also looking for something to make charcoal basket does it have to be mesh or could it be a well ventilated steel pot or bucket?

You're not heating the inlet/outlet very much, so galv isn't a problem
I'm surprised they don't have that stuff in black steel, though
