Drying Rack

The Drying Rack is a block added by Tinkers' Construct. It must be placed on the side of another block, like a shelf of sorts.

The Drying Rack is used to "dry" meats. Right-clicking the rack with an item in hand will put the item on the Drying Rack. Right-clicking the Drying Rack again will remove that item.

If meat is placed on a Drying Rack, after 24,000 ticks (1200 seconds or 20 minutes), that meat will be "dried" to produce the jerky version of the meat. This is a way to bypass fuel requirements, and for Rotten Flesh and Raw Chicken a way to avoid negative effects.
