I have one of those smokers but without electric just charcoal. I made jerky in it a couple times, took some learning but now I know how. It was so good can't wait to do it again. This last time I bought a High Mountain seasoning packet, and love the flavor, cracked pepper and garlic. There are so many flavors to try. It cost $7 and does 15lbs. I just did a 5 lb batch but only could fit 4 1/2 lbs on racks. That dried down to 2 lbs. I hand sliced partially frozen at about 3/8 thick and it took 6 hours. I don't know temperature, the gauge has cool, ideal, and hot. Most of the time it was at the border between cool and ideal. Cheap jerky and I won't pay those high prices at the butcher again.
