one thing to remember is you dont need have smoke going the whole time its a waste of your smoke material,1/2 hr to an hr is enough meat will only take so much smoke then it just turns darker on the out side and drips off .The same steady temp is most important.

For jerky, try to keep the temperature low.  Many will argue, but I've found the ideal temps to be 105-115.  You will need to use a curing agent, like Prague Powder #1 or InstaCure, when smoking at low temps like that.  Smokers are the perfect environment for growing botulism.  i.e. Right temps, moist, low oxygen levels, etc.  I would highly recommend buying this book: Great Sausage Recipes and Meat Curing: Rytek Kutas.  I have nearly worn mine out.  To me, it is the meat smoking and curing bible.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice
