Product Information

As we mentioned earlier, you need the right heat, airflow, and moisture balance to make a success of biltong making. The ideal climate is warm (not hot), dry, with steady airflow. I place my box in the basement where it is 15 deg C (60 deg F). It is slightly cooler than room temp, and that is good. Types of meat Once this side is done, we let it dry and continue with the outside of the right panel. And finally, we will continue with the outside of the left panel. 2.8. Measure & SAW dowels Biltong is an air-dried cured meat. Ideally, you will not apply any heat what-so-ever during the drying process, as heat destroys vitamins and will adversely affect the flavor profile of your biltong. Even a lamp bulb in the box carries a risk of ‘cooking’ the outer layer of meat. Biltong and jerky are not the same, and biltong is not heat processed at all. Instead of a succulent, properly preserved, and safe piece of biltong, you’ll get an unhygienic mess that will taste bad and could carry bacteria. Also, drill only halfway through the panel, as we’ll drill the remaining part from the other side. This is to have as least chipped paint as possible.

As a first step, let’s look at the components that we’ll use. First, it’s the IKEA EKET wall cabinet with a glass door. Next, we’ll use a USB-powered fan, a mosquito net to close the ventilation holes, and wooden dowels to hang the meat. Start by sliding the right panel onto the plastic dowels of the top panel. Next, give the right panel a push so it slides into place. Fun video: we also made a timelapse of biltong drying in our DIY IKEA box! 1. BUILDING NECESSITIES 1.1. Components The easiest way is to use your glue gun and add some glue to the washers before placing them over the dowel holes. Do this for each dowel hole. 3. Assemble the box 3.1. Put it all together I would have thought they'd come in at least three sizes, but there seems to be the only one available for all face sizes. As you can imagine, there are a few complaints.

Are you looking for a way to dampen the sound of your loud singing as you practice? Or are you looking for something to scream in when you've had a long day? The BELTBOX is a product that was made just for people like you and me. So align your tape measure and place a dot at 17.5 cm or 6.89″. This will be the spot we’ll use to place our hole saw and drill the fan’s hole.

Place the profile on the miter box and align your measured line with the straight saw guide. Now start sawing holding your profile firmly in place until you are through. To attach the hinges, use the included plastic measure tool. Place it firmly against the top panel, with the holes facing down on the left panel. Push it forward as far as possible on the left panel. We can easily do that by using simple washers. The only important thing is that the dowels can fit through the washer’s hole. We will glue a washer to each dowel hole which means we will use 8 washers. Once your drill is aligned correctly, you can start drilling but make sure you put the hole saw level with the panel, and don’t drill too fast to ensure the panel doesn’t get too hot from the friction caused by the drilling.If you have the option, consider practicing in your car more often. Most people love letting their voices free in their cars and singing to the top of their lungs, even if they don't have the voice for it. This is an option for those who have a large budget for this sort of thing. Remember how I mentioned that getting a soundproof room or practice space will cost you thousands of dollars? So you may need to tweak your biltong box setup carefully over time until you have a perfect balance. Biltong should dry to ‘semi-moist’ within 24-48 hours, and should not take longer than a week even if you like it crisp.

This is the easy part. Simply hook the meat, making sure it doesn’t touch any part of the box. Put the lid on, start the fan and wait. Easy, right? How to tell when it’s done

Heat vs airflow– which matters most in your biltong box? it’s a question we’re often asked. Airflow will always be the most important thing to consider in your biltong dehydrator- but the answer can get a little complex. Let’s take a look at some of the factors you need to consider. Making biltong the right way We have mounted the smaller hole saw of 3.8 cm or 1.5 inches to our drill, and we aligned it on the measured points, make sure not to drill through, as we’ll turn the panel and continue drilling from the other side. That’s why some varieties of biltong dehydrators have light bulbs so that the air is slightly warmed around the meat. However, this needs to be very carefully balanced. If the air is too hot, whether, by bulb heating or simply your climate, it will both ruin the biltong through cooking the outer layer and promote bacterial growth. Now it’s time to measure our wooden dowels; we need four dowels 34 cm or 13.38 inches long. We bought one long dowel with a diameter of 9mm or 0.35 inches. Let’s measure our first dowel and mark 34 cm or 13.38 inches on the dowel. On the indicated spot, we will see our first dowel to size.
