I have an AQ that I have been having tons of fun with. I have been playing with Jerky and tried something different, by smoking at 160 for 2 hours and then 200 degrees for 3 more. I noted at the end of a 5 hour smoke that the wood was still largely unburned (2 oz hickory and 2 oz apple) I usually smoke at 225 or above and after that many hours would be down to only ash...has anyone found a lower limit that will still burn the wood to give you the smoke flavor. At 225 I tend to only have ash left - are others find the same thing? By the way the wood was standard chunks that came with the smoker.
