Don't worry about the temp so much if your going to blast them to crisp anyway, just get the smoke to em for a couple of hours, but, if your worried about safety, you could probe the biggest one with your instant read.
I marinate them in Itilian dressing, leave them in some marinad and then smoke in the broiler pan. After smoked, drop them in a deep fryer to crisp, coat with sauce by shaking them in a closed container.
