    A Little Tough

    190 is too low. It was stated above that collagen breaks down at 160. This is incorrect. Collagen converts to gelatin at 192 or 193 degrees. This is why a butt turns from a "slicing" butt into a "pulling" butt north of the 190 degree IT. Don't pull the roast until it probes tender all over with...

    Orange/Honey Bacon? Can anybody help?

    Yeah, I was guessing that it was probably Tang or something like that too Jimmy. Or even an oil based orange flavoring. Something concentrated either way.

That way you can direct it more towards the top. but honestly if I could make a pizza in a pellet smoker that would satisfactory and then have to throw it in the...

    First Smoker, Help!

    I try to think of it like this. I want to take the temperature of the air that is "hitting the meat". So, if that's 6" below your meat or whatever works best in your unit so be it. but taking the temperature right next to the meat or right next to the heating element is obviously going to give...

    First Smoker, Help!

    I think the point that he was making was to try putting your inkbird probe directly next to your built-in probe, rather than right next to your meat. Test the differences then.
