Can i use my Bradley Counter top smoker to make jerkey?

[pohunter]

I have a Bradley Counter top Smoker  the temperature range on the lowest setting is 160-220 F, as i live in NZ I work in Celsius so this is 73-103 deg for me 

the question i have is that temp too hot for making jerkey.

by all accounts this is too high, But can I do it in that temp range and still make jerkey?

hello again

you shure can,  the meat needs to hit the 160 deg mark anyway, put smoke to it for the first 3-4 hrs and then just let it dry out if you can maintain 160deg, don't over smoke or over cook,  when the jerky feels just alittle soft when pinched  then put it in a bowl and air dry the rest of the way, (unless its really humid)  it will naturally dry out and you wont end up with brittle jerky buy over drying it.

Just watch the temps in the small space. The US shipment got delayed.

Do you know Mark the Bradley rep in NZ?
