Yeah. I was surprised to see recommendations of over 200 degrees. I usually do about 175. I'm going to stick with that. I want to dry it rather than cook it, sort of like jerky but not that dry. I can't cold smoke so I don't use curing salts.

200 degrees is not smoking it’s cooking. When smoking the brine does the cooking not the heat. Huge difference flavor and texture
