No not at all

Today I made snack sticks for the first time, I used a hi-mountain seasoning kit and smoked them as they recommended. They turned out ok but I was hoping they would be a little more firm, I'm thinking I should've cooked them at a lower temp longer to dry them out some instead of 200° until they...
