The smoking insert must be dried. This prevents excessive humidity in the chamber during smoking, allowing the smoke components to penetrate the smoked products and create a nice color on the surface of the products.
The dehydrator is used to speed up the water evaporation process after removal from the brine. Instead of drying the smoked products for a minimum of 24 hours in a cool, airy place, the dehydrator shortens this process to 3 - 4 hours. The dehydrator is mounted in place of the smoke generator. Set the heater temperature to 30°C and open the chimney for full airflow.
