Why Does a Butcher Need a Biltong Smoking Cabinet?

Running a butchery is no easy task; it takes skill, commitment, and quality to ensure its success. A skilled butcher will know which butchery equipment is best suited for their requirements, thus you will see a lot of quality products in a good butchery shop. But would a Biltong Smoking Cabinet be one of these products? Does a butcher need to have a Biltong Smoking Cabinet?

Well, that will depend on the additional services that they offer their customers. If the butchery only cuts and sells raw meat, then they probably don't require a Biltong Smoking Cabinet. However, if they sell value added products such as biltong, then it is worth investing in one of these units. Biltong is the type of product that customers will buy if they are able to taste samples of it while they wait for their meat order to be prepared. So it can certainly increase the revenue for a butchery.

The Butcherquip Smoking Cabinet is an option worth considering as it is manufactured with two 2.5 kilowatt drying elements and one 0.75 kilowatt sawdust ignition element. It has 3 phases (neutral and earth) and operates at 230 volts. It is a large unit with a 600 liter capacity and a chamber size of 1000 x 655 x 1020 millimeters. So it is suitable for butcheries that have a high demand for biltong. For added convenience, it includes 15 aluminum rods to hang the biltong on, a sawdust grid, an ashtray, an element protective grid, and an expanded mesh tray.

The Butcherquip Junior Smoking Cabinet is a smaller unit with a 170 liter capacity and total size of 1015 x 610 x 940 millimeters. This unit is suitable for smaller butcheries and home industries that have a smaller demand for biltong. As it is smaller, it is manufactured with a 230 volts single phase. It has two 1 kilowatt drying elements and one 0.5 kilowatt sawdust ignition element. Despite its smaller size it includes 10 aluminum rods, a sawdust grid, an ashtray, an element protective grid and an expanded mesh tray. As far as butchery equipment is concerned, this unit is quite a contender.

In summary, it is necessary for butcheries who sell biltong to have their own Biltong Smoking Cabinets. This particular catering equipment allows them to take the biltong making process into their own hands which gives them more control over the final product. They will be able to add their own unique ingredients to the process which will encourage customers to return for more.
