You will want to start the 6 rack around 150-160* Is your smoke in the elements or in an enclosed area?

Hey Brian, where do you live? I am also in northern BC. (Fort St.John area)  Over Christmas, i smoked some peanuts and my smoker would reach 250 degrees while sitting on my deck at -23 Degrees C.  Got a batch of jerky in it as we speak!

At a smoker temp of 200 you're cooking the jerky rather than drying it.  NePaS set you right at 150-160.  After a couple of hours or so bump it up to 170.  Not saying there is anything wrong with cooking jerky rather than drying it.  Just saying there are two different techniques.
