Hey AZbohunter....I start the jerky at 140-150 for 2 hours then I throw the James jerky dryer on it for another 4-6 hours. I check the jerky starting at about the 6 hours total mark to see how its coming along. Pull the meat when YOU think its done. Everyone likes their jerky a different way. When I make jerky I end up taking it to work and people say its the best they've ever had. Thanks to smokin-it.
Happy smoking
