Why do you need a light in a biltong maker?
If you live somewhere chilly, it will take a long time for airflow to draw the water from the meat and finish the curing process. So that’s why we have added a light bulb to our biltong dryers. Having a light bulb means that the air is slightly warmed around the meat.
What temperature should the biltong maker be?
The ideal temperature and drying time for biltong is 22°C to 24°C for the first 24 hours and thereafter at 30°C to 33°C for two days.
Keeping below 24°C in the initial phases stops the fats from going rancid. Keeping relative humidity in the box below 50% ensures consistent, quality results.
How long does it take for biltong to dry in a box?
4 to 7 days
A biltong box is simply an enclosed container where you can hang your meat to dry. It will usually have small holes on the sides and a low-wattage bulb to aid the drying process which can take up to 4 to 7 days. In some cases, you can also have a fan on low blowing near the holes to have good airflow.
