Product Information

We now place the profile on the miter box and put the ‘X’ facing down; make sure to align the profile so it’s sawed in the right direction.

If you live somewhere very chilly, it will take a long time for airflow to draw the water from the meat and finish the curing process. 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.I then added another 6 x holes using the same 13mm spade bit at the top of the box, these are along the top of the box. I then attached the fan at the bottom. The way it works is the bulb heats up the box and the fan blows air into the box, the air flows up through the meat and out of the holes at the top. I made sure that the fan was facing the right way, and blowing air into the box rather than pulling it out. I wired the PC fan into an appropriate plug, but make sure to read up on what power you fan needs. I have seen a few people use a USB powered fan which should help take out some of the guess work if you are unfamiliar with electrics. 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 Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Once all four profiles are sawed to size, we can add them by measuring 1.1 cm or 0.43 inches from the front of the panel to align the profiles. I used my drill with a large wood bit and drilled a series of holes around the circle. Then took my jigsaw and cut out to connect all the circles. Using my dremel with a sanding wheel I smoothed out the cut. I added another smaller hole to the right of the large one for the light fitting.

With the glass door installed, you already have a good-looking biltong box in front of you. As we don’t want insects intruding on our cabinet and feasting on our meat, we will install some corner profiles to close the gap between the glass door and the inside of the cabinet. So, the bulk of your biltong dehydrator can be as simple as a cheap pine cabinet you have adapted. All that matters is that the airflow is good. Yet you cannot simply drill big holes and leave it at that- those big holes will allow flies, other pests, and bacteria to land on your meat. 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.Make a biltong box from a cardboard box to save money. To easily make a biltong box at home, use a cardboard box, such as a computer monitor box. Choose a box with dimensions of about 60.7 × 60.7 × 91.4 cm (1.99 × 1.99 × 3.00 ft). Stand the box upright and open the flaps on top. [9] X Research source Cool box. If you live in a warmer area with more bugs i would really suggest yoi get more ventilation and also cover those holes with mesh to keep the crawlies out. Also add some kind of removeable drip tray to catch the liquid and spices dripping off the meat. The first “BILTONG BUDDY” Home Biltong Maker was made of a powder-coated mild steel and many of those are still operating today! Since the wooden dowels will carry our meat for days, we might want to reinforce the dowel holes in the box to carry this weight. This is optional as normally the box should be perfectly capable of carrying the weight of the meat strips, but better safe than sorry. Now take the bottom panel and ensure the ledge corresponds to the other panels’ ledge. Next, align the plastic dowels of the bottom panel with the side panels and push the bottom panel down.

As to be expected with a face mask, it can be hard to breathe in this thing. It will be an adjustment process that some people can make it through, while others will want to give up and write the product off as a waste. To add some extra flair to our box, we‘ll add some LED lights. You have a couple of options; the main choice is, do we add a battery-powered LED strip or a mains-powered LED strip? The battery-powered version is the easiest; you can attach everything inside the box without external wires. 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 doneStart by measuring the corner profile for the top. This profile only needs one side miter saw, as the other one will connect to the cabinet door’s top hinge. So we measured and put two marks at 29.2 cm or 11.5 inches and drew a line between these marks to see at that spot. Now place the cabinet in front of you in its normal position, being top side up and bottom side down. In this step, you can decide which way you want the door to open. The choice is all yours, but you must attach the hinges to the right side depending on it.

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 The side panels should be placed next to the top panel with their dowel holes, or their topsides, closest to the top panel. This was the final step in finishing our biltong box. Now you can test it by preparing your biltong, getting your favorite recipe, or experimenting. You can watch our video to see how we prepared our first biltong batch in this new box.

If you're looking for the cheapest alternative, try singing, speaking, or yelling into your pillow. You will face some of the same problems, with breathing as the main one, but everyone's got a pillow, and pillows can also technically dampen your sound.
