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. Take the drill and align it on the first dowel point; drill slowly, as you don’t want to drill through the panel! Then, do the same for the other 3 indicated points.

Make sure to cover the ventilation hole completely. Add some pressure to the fan to secure it. Feel free to add some extra glue to the sides. You can cut away the excess mosquito net when the glue is dry. 4. ADD SOME FLAIR 4.1. Add Led StripThis 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. Make sure you see the measured and indicated spot from the previous step. Now we’ll take our drill, with the hole saw attached, and align the drill point with the measured spot on the panel.

Continue to do the same with the other sides, keeping in mind that the right side profile needs two sides miter sawed. And the left side profiles none. Here you can see the lengths we need for the corner profiles; we will miter saw them to fit them nicely.Our LED strip has a little control unit that can be operated via Wifi. We will glue it to the outside of our box. Since the wooden dowels will carry our meat for days, we might want to reinforce the dowel holes in the box to carry this weight. This is optional as normally the box should be perfectly capable of carrying the weight of the meat strips, but better safe than sorry.
