Hi! Looking for some advice. Been using a Traeger for 12 years now, but have started to do homemade "jerky". I say "Jerky" because I do not dehydrate the meat, but let the smoke cook it instead. But my Traeger died last night, and need a new smoker that will allow me to control the temp from very low (Smoke to 115 degrees or so) up to 400 using 5 degree increments. I like the fact that the GREEN MOUNTAIN brand allows me to do this, but am wondering if the MAK 1 allows me to do the same? Any advice on which is better for my purpose?? Thanks!! Ross

Green Mountain is a good brand for less money, MAK and Yoder are more heavily built. Not sure about the temperature control

I am not aware of any pellet grill that could keep 115 in the main chamber and not have the fire go out. 160 is about the lowest
Wow 12 years out of a traeger is a good run. I agree with Jim my one star runs 160-180 on the smoke setting. I would love to see what would happen if you placed a full sheet pan with two 20lb blocks of ice on the bottom rack with the jerky on the second rack above it.
