No Im on F.  165 C  would be like 330 F. No way I'm off that much.

Yeah she got up there at times...Think maybe the chunks caught up or something, plus I'm using royal lump which in itself runs hot..

I went by the probes on the temp....I pulled and wrapped her....If she's not done they can nuke it for 20 seconds LOL

But im sure all is good
