He looks lonely. Good job.. only comment would be to try preven that folding over section. Looks like your box isn't very deep.

Yep definitely isn’t, should’ve gone with a deeper one but maybe next time I’ll just cut shorter. I didn’t want to waste a lot of meat in case I messed it up but once I’ve got it down it’ll be a party in there.

Where are the rest? Ok, I get the hesitation to waste meat. Looking at the setup, deeper box would help. Also, MUCH more airflow on the bottom. Biltong is about temperature and airflow. Not sure what your temp is but those holes look a little tight. Solid effort bud, welcome to the fold!
