I did mine at 160 for 6-8 hours. I guess it depends on what you are making it in. You can make jerky in an oven but 180 degrees is the lowest temperature my oven will cook at. Smokers and dehydrators can cook at temperatures from 100-120 degrees and up. I check mine every hour after the first 4 hours. I put a small fan on top of the smoke hole on my smoker after about 2 hours (or whenever the smoke chips have stopped smoking). The fan helps draw the moisture out of the jerky.
