Thanks for the info. Very helpful…

Greetings all. New here and new to snack sticks. After a couple failed attempts at making snack sticks I went to cold smoking (my smoker is too hot) and the oven to finish off the sticks. But for blue tooth and an alarm on my phone this batch of sticks would have been lost as well. I was able to rescue the sticks and I learned I cannot stabilize my oven either. I was considering a dehydrator when I ran across sous vide for snack sticks here and then elsewhere as well. This was good news since I was given a sous vide cooker as a gift a few years ago. Still, in a video I watched the artisan warned that the mid temperatures were important or one would have sticks with too much moisture and thus no good. I was hoping someone could fill in the picture for me from the time my sticks were smoked and the time I threw them into the sous vide cooker. Do I still need a dehydrator? What am I missing in the big picture if anything? Thanks all…
