All the dehydrators I have found are not just forced air but are heated as well. Biltong is not heated. I modified one by adding a spare Dell server CPU fan that does some crazy CFM and it is LOUD. I think it was 1650. It works ok, but the box fan method beats it by a mile.
Thanks for the tip. Maybe thats what did it. We have a 5 tray Excalibur unit which is a real workhorse. Weve done fruits, vegetables, and dozens of different jerky recipes. The Biltong didnt work out and I suspect thats the reason.
Appreciate the link.
