Have about 4 lbs of sliced round curing in HM right now, been spending a lot of time reading through old jerky forums. I have seen QDogg,GLH, and a combination of other methods for the cook, but I'm curious if anyone has cooked at an even lower temp (say 165) for longer periods of time. I'm wanting jerky that is more dehydrated than "cooked". Since the AQ will cook as low as 100 degrees, I'm curious what new methods may be out there. Thanks!

If you cook below 140, you'll need a cure in your jerky. If you're not cooking the jerky, you have to cure the jerky to be food safe.

You can do them anyway you want. Lower will give it more smoke, but the wood will have a time even smoking if you go too low, so you'll need to change to chips/pellets/sawdust.

Also, the CS' are a humid smoker so open the door occassionally and let the humid lower.

take notes and post how it goes.
