I'm going to build a simple dry curing chamber and there are a few electronic parts

I need help sourcing locally, if possible. Forgive me if I don't know the correct

name for these items. They are: devices to sense and control temperature (turn

the refrigerator on/off) and one to sense and control for humidity.

As per this forum, Bangkok supply would be ideal - brick and mortar + w/in Thailand

online suppliers being the best.

I've loads if instacure 1 and 2 and want to make use of the later.

All related advice is more than welcome.

Thanks

Is this going to be wood or metal? Outside where there's fire danger?

The best smoker I've ever had is a Little Chief which simply has a heating element in the bottom and comes with a pan to hold hardwood chips. I smoke salmon, jerky and the occasional ham. I think I could make one with an old refrigerator and a hotplate and some people do. In that case I'd want aluminum foil or something to keep drippings of the hotplate.

This thing isn't real hot inside - about 150 F/65 C. It must have adjustable vents at top and bottom to let moisture escape.

Thank you N.S.

I absolutely want to build a smoker, too, but I'm looking to build

a 'dry' curing space...ie. no heat/smoke. It's used to dry cure

meats that require zero cooking/heat/smoke etc.

OK, I've never done that. Good luck with your project.

I suppose I'm looking for something like this...locally.

This is an all-in-one device (great), but would be happy with 2 separate sensor/controllers...w/in Bkk.

Anyone know of a shop/site with this kind of gear?

Thanks

I'm not sure what it would be, but would it be what's called a food dehydrator? I've seen a number of those in use.

Those are used to make, for example, jerky and dried fruits. Done by removing all

moisture.

Dry curing is for making salami, prociutto and the like
