Beef jerky smoker

You can make an excellent beef jerky smoker from a number of different materials. You can even make a wooden beef jerky smoker because what you are trying to achieve is a cool fire or heat source not a hot one so the wood isn't at risk of bursting into flame. The smoker box is effectively a chimney and draws the dry, smokey aire from your fire through the hanging meat strips. One of the more popular meats to put in the smoker is one which is traditionally smoke cured in different forms. You will know them as bacon or ham, yes I'm talking about pork jerky.
