That looks awesome Joe!
Did you use chips or chunks? At lower temps, you will get a lot better smoke production out of chips or chunks that have been cut down to slivers, or even pellets. The chunks are hard to keep smoldering at lower temps.
Also, if you haven't found the hot spot on your element, a quick test with an empty smoker and your smoke box filled from front to back will show you which part of your smoker runs the hottest.
Your sticks look really good and evenly cooked. I am kind of surprised that the bottoms didn't get a little too much heat with them being so close to the heating element. If it were me, I think I would try to rig the top strings to pull the sticks up closer to the top of the smoker and further away from the element. But, if your sticks cooked as evenly as they look, this may not even be necessary.
I could sent you my mailing address too.
