Thanks Brian, Gregg, and Tony for your responses. Very much appreciated.
Gregg: Your recipe is definitely more of what I am looking for than the one my family used. I am going to try yours in a few weeks and I will let you know the results. I am having more fun with my smoker this fall than I ever have.
BTW, I purchased a power cable for programming the Auber to turn on the Jerky fan after two hours (using the R1 parameter). I am trying to recall who posted that idea, but it was worthwhile purchasing this cable. I now have a set it and forget it method for making Jerky. Gregg, this could be handy for your snack sticks.
