I just assumed the consuming nitrates was a bad thing. I suppose I could start at 250 for an hour and then turn it down to 180ish. Does the cure cook out during the smoking process?
I have been making beef and deer jerky in my MES40 by running the temp at 185-190 for 2 1/2 - 5 hours without using cure. Haven't had any problems, but was curious what others think about not using cure at higher temperatures.
