My sportsman elite 30 came in today. Got it seasoned and looking to do some jerky Monday.
Thank you. The Cabela's kit made it very simple.Da nada, AMLong88. Just checked out your beef jerky QView. It looks both good and inspiring. Because of the pics I can now see those extra rack guides which I didn't see on the Cabela's photo. Mine only has the four rack guides but I really typically only use 1-2 shelves unless I'm smoking cheese or three racks of ribs. I never use the lowest rack (which the water pan hangs from) because I think it's too close to the smoke source. I don't use the top rack because I think it's too far so by process of elimination I typically will use only the 2nd rack or at most the middle two. Except for a large piece of meat like a turkey breast I use the 3rd rack because I want it immersed in smoke.
