Title: My First Attempt At Jerky And My Heating Element Died

For my third smoke I thought I'd try making jerky - I get about halfway through the process, I go outside to rotate the racks for the 4th time and the temp is at 68 degress

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! :o :P :-[ :-\

My heating element has taken a dive just like so many others around the second smoke. I'm pretty sure I can finish up the jerky in the oven, but what temp should I use?

around 160-170 if your oven goes that low

X2 on 160-170. I had to finish some jerky in my oven last weekend. Worked ok, you can prop the door open also if its getting too hot.
If you have a convection oven use that for the air flow, with the door propped. Actually works pretty good.

Thanks guys - I was able to set the oven down to 190 and it finished up just fine - quite purdy actually. It's going pretty fast...
