I have a pitboss 5 series vertical pellet smoker and have no problems with snack sticks.
Lowest setting is 150 but that works just fine.
Load up smoker with 18# of sticks.
Run at 150 for one hour.
Run at 170 for two hours.
Run at 200 until internal temp 152.
Smoke stack left 3/4 open the entire time.
No issue with fatting out, or hard casings either.
I make hundreds of # of sticks a year with no problem.

Don’t make the smoke schedule way more complicated than it needs to be.

Straight up mineral oil. Been working fine on my 20 year old cherry board.
