Beef sticks

[cooperman]

Hello All,
How long does it usually take to smoke/cook beef sticks starting at 150 ramping up to 170 until an internal temperature of 155 is reached?
Thanks in advance.

I can tell you it takes 6-8 hrs doing pork starting at 120 and ramping every hour...

Starting at 150 and doing beef... I'm not sure...

All depends on the diameter of the product….

There are a lot of things that can affect the time it takes to reach an internal temperature in the product. These variables makes it hard to predict a consistent cook time in every situation.
Some of the variables that can affect the cook time are,
How much meat is loaded in the smoker. Overloading the smoker with meat can cause temperatures to stall, or increase very slowly.
The outdoor ambient temperature.
The heating capacity of the smoker.
How well insulated is the smoker.
As noted above, the product diameter also affects finishing time.

Longer than I plan for I can tell you that

21mm was the size, ambient in the upper 50s, smoker temp held within 3 degrees, not overcrowded just two rod of hanging sticks. 5 lbs. I was surprised how fast the internal temp was rising at first, but then it just slowed down. I had to go 180 and after 6 hrs I pulled them at an internal temperature of 147. You wouldn’t think those skinny stick would take that long?
TSM 30 country smoker
Preheat smoker to 130 to dry stick for 1 hr, no smoke
Increased temp to 150, added smoke for 1 hour.
Increased temp to 160, with smoke for 1 hour.
Increased temp to 170, with smoke for 1 hour.
Stop the smoke, and waited, and waited. After 5 hrs increased to 180. Pulled at internal temperature 147. After another hour.
