Kind of new to Smoking wanting to learn more
Neal, when I use a probe thermoeter I stick it in from the side, right in the center. This will ensure that you don't mess up the probe when you flip the meat and also that you get it right in the center of your cut. Pulled pork is one of my favorites and I'm sure you'll have success with it... -
