    When you're trying to smoke some beef jerky or just dry some beef for sandwich meat, what's the minimum temperature you've been able to use and produce smoke in the MES 40? Thank you, Dave

    New to smoking in Jefferson, GA

    Howdy, I'm Dave, hailing out of Jefferson, GA just north of Atlanta.  I worked in steakhouses as a kid and learned a lot about cooking steaks over gas and getting them to turn out well.  Over time, I've continuously worked to improve those skills to the point I've pretty well got grilling...
