Product Information

We can easily do that by using simple washers. The only important thing is that the dowels can fit through the washer’s hole. We will glue a washer to each dowel hole which means we will use 8 washers. As to be expected with a face mask, it can be hard to breathe in this thing. It will be an adjustment process that some people can make it through, while others will want to give up and write the product off as a waste.

We have mounted the smaller hole saw of 3.8 cm or 1.5 inches to our drill, and we aligned it on the measured points, make sure not to drill through, as we’ll turn the panel and continue drilling from the other side.If the whole piece isn’t coming out yet, don’t use force; turn over the panel again and gently drill from this side. Our LED strip has a little control unit that can be operated via Wifi. We will glue it to the outside of our box. Once all four profiles are sawed to size, we can add them by measuring 1.1 cm or 0.43 inches from the front of the panel to align the profiles. As a first step, let’s look at the components that we’ll use. First, it’s the IKEA EKET wall cabinet with a glass door. Next, we’ll use a USB-powered fan, a mosquito net to close the ventilation holes, and wooden dowels to hang the meat. To add some extra flair to our box, we‘ll add some LED lights. You have a couple of options; the main choice is, do we add a battery-powered LED strip or a mains-powered LED strip? The battery-powered version is the easiest; you can attach everything inside the box without external wires.

It's a straightforward product with a strap if you want to sing or speak loudly while you have both hands free. There's no need to set anything up, and it comes with a carrying bag. It's also waterproof if you want to get loud in the shower or a pool area. The Price Point Is Affordable In some dry climates- indeed, like the highveld area of South Africa the Voortrekkers credited with inventing biltong were crossing- there would be no risk of this moisture gathering at all because the ambient moisture in the air is that low. If you look closely, you can see that one of the panels has a number 1 on its side, indicating the top panel. The other panel with the plastic dowels is the bottom panel; let’s put aside the top panel for now. Let’s place the bottom panel in the center of our worktable.

Now take the bottom panel and ensure the ledge corresponds to the other panels’ ledge. Next, align the plastic dowels of the bottom panel with the side panels and push the bottom panel down.

Place the left panel on the left side of the bottom panel and the right panel on the right side. In a later step, we’ll construct the cabinet by placing the left en right sides at a 90-degree angle on the bottom panel’s plastic dowels. We will now drill the dowel holes on the indicated spots; while drilling, we‘ll make sure we don’t drill through the panel, so be careful you don’t add too much pressure on the drill. If you're looking for the cheapest alternative, try singing, speaking, or yelling into your pillow. You will face some of the same problems, with breathing as the main one, but everyone's got a pillow, and pillows can also technically dampen your sound. The side panels should be placed next to the top panel with their dowel holes, or their topsides, closest to the top panel.

Light bulbs aren’t needed in most cases

Start by measuring the corner profile for the top. This profile only needs one side miter saw, as the other one will connect to the cabinet door’s top hinge. So we measured and put two marks at 29.2 cm or 11.5 inches and drew a line between these marks to see at that spot. This is the easy part. Simply hook the meat, making sure it doesn’t touch any part of the box. Put the lid on, start the fan and wait. Easy, right? How to tell when it’s done Once they are in place, you can position the left panel as intended, meaning at a 45-degree angle with the top panel, slide the left panel firmly into place by adding some pressure while holding the top panel in place.

Here you can see the lengths we need for the corner profiles; we will miter saw them to fit them nicely. This was the final step in finishing our biltong box. Now you can test it by preparing your biltong, getting your favorite recipe, or experimenting. You can watch our video to see how we prepared our first biltong batch in this new box. Now place the cabinet in front of you in its normal position, being top side up and bottom side down. In this step, you can decide which way you want the door to open. The choice is all yours, but you must attach the hinges to the right side depending on it. Fun video: we also made a timelapse of biltong drying in our DIY IKEA box! 1. BUILDING NECESSITIES 1.1. Components

This doesn’t need to be very strong, as that also runs the risk of drying the outer layers before the inside of the meat. You just need enough to keep drawing air through the box and pulling the released moisture away. Now that we know which components we’ll use, let’s look at the tools we need to create our biltong box. We need a drill and hole saws to make the ventilation and fan holes.
