    Welcome to Smoked-Meat... I built a smoke house close to the same size of yours .. I think it's 48"x30"x30"... Keep at it and be sure to continue to ask questions if your not sure.. Also don't be discouraged if you have a few smokes go south on you.. We all have just ask Richtee about smoking cheese..

          Steve, missed the intro... Hmm more particulars on the wattburner, your cure/spice mix, etc might help. And welcome to Smoked-Meat!

            Welcome. Another thing you might try is covering the pan with foil. Poke a couple holes in it with the car key in your pocket. It'll limit how much air gets to the wood.

                    As you heard...most times less smoke is better...

                    In my stick burner I will smoke jerky for a couple hours and transfer to the dehydrator or oven for drying...

                    Keep at it...learn all you can...this is the place to do it...

                      ive just always use dales,a lil brown sugar some dry seasonings,steak sauce.marinate in bowl overnight,then straight to dehydrator.5 hours or so its done.ive just recently been reading up on using a cure..i did not know anything about cure,i always thought that all the salt cured the meat then drying it was enouf...never had a problem...but now im leaning towards using a cure for safety reasons..since it takes longer in the smoker..wonder where to get a cure?walmart?foodlion?krogers is about it for where im at.and a name of some common cures to look for ?
