Nice job! I've just made an 85L box this week. Today I made 2kgs of dry wors which is currently hanging. I used to use a 40W lightbulb, but now I make my boxes using two 12v USB fans. One pushes, while the other pulls. Even though I live in Scotland, the air in the house is warm enough to cure my biltong or dry wors in 3-4 days.

Thanks Gavin, this is my next project!! and greetings from New Zealand.

So much really great advice after the actual build! Thank you for this fantastic video! Subscribed 👍

If you run the drill in reverse it usually comes out neater and lessons the risk of cracking.

Mmmmmm - interesting will try it. Thanks

Made one just like it and it works great.

👍🏻 Thanks, some clever ideas! It sounds like you have several flavour options for biltong cures .. it would be very interesting to see what they are and how to use them. Your chutney flavour particularly caught my attention.

Chutney is difficult to get it into the meat. Cut meat thin and add chutney to the spice and leave for two days in the fridge and turn a few times a day. Garlic and chilli I add 1 teaspoon to the spice micx per kg meat.

Hi Gavin, many thanks, very informative video. Would it be possible to give me some info on the fan, what I should search for and the ballpark price for the fan in Rands. I live in Britain so I need to check out local B&Q type shops or the www, but it helps if I know what I’m looking for. May thanks

Amazing video, thanks. I really want to try this. But before I begin. 1/ Where do you put your box (inside or outside? 2/ Is it preferable in a dark place/room? 3/ If your room has no air flow, is the fan enough?

Hey Gavin. Could you please show us how to do salami sticks from scratch... absolutely love your content.

Hi - you tell me and then we'll both know. Ha ha ha - I've never done them.

How much watts bulb?

Excellent video Gavin, one question… Is the fan blowing air into the box or sucking it out? 👍

@GavinConwayWoodworkBBQ

It's sucking it out. So it flows in past the light for some heat into the air, then through the meat and out the other side.

was your boet Vaughan? he was in my class at Vainona?

Hi, I have a small 9v dehumidifier, I was thinking of using without any light. Have you tried this setup?

@GavinConwayWoodworkBBQ

Try it - the light is just for a bit of heat to dry the air a bit so really if it has airflow it should work. Just cut the meat thinly to try it.

Yeah, i was thinking that if the dehumidifier draws the moisture away it could work well and it's only 25watts. We have one of those nylon airing cupboards with the little heater at the bottom. I'll try it, but with the dehumidifier on instead of the heater.

I subbed, hi from hull UK

how come the cables are routed inside the box? why not along the side outside, out of the way?

@GavinConwayWoodworkBBQ

Either way works.

So I guess the air flow outward not inwards if I understood correctly

How much Gavin and where are you based pls

This is for biltong, different method of preparation, beef jerky you make in a day or two by cooking it at low heat, biltong is prepared by air drying over longer periods of time.
