I recently started smoking sausage and want to do more of that and expand into meat snack sticks and jerky. I am using a Kamado Joe right now, which I love, but I want to buy a gravity fed (probably Assassin or Myron Mixon) or an LSG IVC. I was able to keep my KJ running at 150F without much trouble using a FlameBoss controller.

I was wondering if anyone has experience keeping an insulated vertical smoker running at a temperature at least that low? I was hoping to keep it down to two grills, but not sure my ideal smoker for things like brisket can also work for jerky and sausage.

I have a LSG IVC and I use a flame boss on it. I’ve never ran it at 150 but I have done a cool at 200 with NO issues. I’m looking to sell my IVC too..
