baie mooi, the only thing that i would add is a metal drip tray. instead of the glass one, and with the metal trip tray it will create character, and you can CNC the groves on where it can go on the sides.
The wood you've used is amazing. The LED looks amazing. Glad you didn't add a heat source, saw some comments about heat source. The last thing you need to make proper biltong is a heat source, you're not making jerky:) Air vents would be best at the bottom of the cabinet as you need the air to flow over the meat. It looks like a 120mm fan, which is to big for the box, you just need 80mm. 120 could dry the outside to fast.
Wow! What a lovely finished product!
That looks incredible. well done.
Beautiful work 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Biltong is baie lekker 🙂 Your Biltong Dryer is the best I have ever seen. I build my own Biltong dryer three years ago but the drying process didn't works good because of higher huminity in Germany. Best greetings from Leipzig, Igor
An absolute work of art 😀🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Lekker. That wood is stunning too
Beautiful work!
That’s really beautiful box you’re building there, I really like the result! I have had the privilege to visit Gauteng several times back in the early 2000s. On most occasions I had a very beautiful accommodation in a small guest house in Midrand. I Very fondly remember the Biltong that was almost ubiquitous there. The landlords of the guesthouse where I stayed occasionally would take me shopping and help me select various Biltong types - I remember at least Beef, Ostrich and Kudu and all of them were just amazing. Over here in Germany it‘s almost impossible to come by any Biltong and even if I can get my grubby hands on a minuscule sample every now and then it‘ll be either prohibitively expensive or difficult to deliver and usually it‘ll be just beef anyway - in no way comparable to the variety I enjoyed in SA. I did find a recipe a few years back which I‘m preparing every now and then but it‘s done in a few hours in the oven - a far cry from the original. I hope at some time I can get a genuine box like yours over here or maybe even DYI one ❤
Wow very good idea indeed
Mitre the corners and drop the vent holes down to make sure you get full circulation Greg. But that’s a beauuuuutiful dryer dude
Awesome project! Looks phenomenal. Well done boet👍👍👏👏👏
I like it! The drip tray needs to have sides going up (and no finger hole), but 100% awesome other than that!
EDIT: After seeing it in the room, I think it needs a matching humidor at the other end of the bar to really jazz the place up!
Love it, and subscribed...
Question does the fan blow in air and through the vents out or is the fan blowing air out
The fan blows inside the box onto the meat, just pike in the butcher shops, they have no “heat” elements only a fan that blows on the meat
@@diywithgreg thank you so much I appreciate it...
This wood is crazy! Wish I could get a slab of it over here! Another amazing build brother 💪
By the way, those screws are called Chicago Screws 😎
I was thinking about building one of these. As an American I’ve never used one, but I’ve been thinking about salt trays to maybe help pull moister?
What dimensions did you go with?
Beautiful box, going to try and make one similar all the way here in Canada.
Nicely built. I have a sister in tokai Cape Town. Whenever I visit from the uk I get biltong. Two comments. Should you have a light in the box just for warm air flow? Secondly should the vent holes be nearer the base to allow for the air to flow the full length of the box?
Mooi
How do I buy one?
Can u make me one and wat will the price be
Those led lights are going to heat it up?
Hahahhahahahahahhahahhahahahhahahahha. No it will not.
built my own in that time, should have made a video. 150w of heat lamps gets me around 130f @@Onverkrygbare
Bilton is not a South African delicacy, it is a staple food item in the southern parts of Africa.
This build is another take on "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
Or to express it another way "Give a man a bilton box and trach him to make bilton, you'll feed him and his family for a lifetime.
Kudos you
William Maxwell, if you are a South African then you are talking bullshit. Since when is biltong a staple food?Biltong is expensive for most people. I don’t live in South Africa anymore but I know for sure it is not cheap.Maize meal is the staple diet.🇿🇦🇦🇺🇬🇪🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
You've got not air movement at the bottom of the box. The ventilation holes need to be at the bottom of the box not 3/4 the way up. Blow smoke through the vent holes into the box with the fan on and you will see the air movement that you have got.
Cold smoke also enhances the flavours
When you blow smoke in, air circulation and exhaust will show that you do not have a complete understanding of aerodynamics. Yeah, different locations of the air-intake drill holes will improve direct air flow, but in the current configuration, this bilton box works as required
Air vents in the wrong place, fan in the wrong place, no heat source, rails to close together, biscuits showing, door not closing flat, average hinges and different screws, clunky latch. Well you did ask😀
Funny thing is it works perfectly, meat comes out 100% everytime, and you dont need a heat source by the way.
In Africa its hot, even in winter its hot. Lightbulb heat sources will work elsewhere
Do you live in Antartica?
