    Post smoke pellicle

    I had it on the smoker for 6 hours and it never went above 180 because I ran out of time. I cut it in half for space reasons and saw a good pink smoke ring, my flavor crust was a pit soupy and I didn't see a pellicle. So I know my soupy flavor crust will dry out in the oven, I just wanted to...

    So inaccurate readout on the grill is a common issue?

    Yeah, keeping my temp setting way low has been my work around; that and opening when it it gets to warm // closing the vent when it gets to cool. I feel there should be a less hands on solution for something like this though!
