Jay - I got bleary eyed search the jerky forums. I found what I believe was the GLH method IF GLH is a former member 2006/07 time frame. From what I gather 180 degrees, a couple ounces of wood, 3 hours and no door opening. When I have time I will try to link to it. Read so many posts I forgot the one where the 'former member' answered a couple of questions . Wish I was a little more attentive when prowling around old posts.
