If low and slow is to break down the meat so it is tender and a fattie needs no breaking down how hot can i go? I will be wraping 1 in bacon an 1 not. They are going to be for a party on sat. and I want to cook them before the party so they are still hot for the guest. I also want the bacon to be nice and crispy. when i cook them at low temps the bacon never seems to get crispy.

Not sure exactly how hot would be safe for them.
If I had to guess though I would say even as high as 327 would be fine.

OK Fire...

How in the heck did you come up with that? You crack me up, and those guys gave you a pass on it!

Did you know that 83% of statistics are made up on the spot?!?

I was going to say that 314.159265° would be the best number! (100 X PI)???

Seriously, low 300's and you will be fine! My $.02
