    Digital thermometer

    My test did go to 212. Our altitude according to Google is 95' so that calculated to 211 using your link. There actually we're 2 different answers according to Google 89' and 95' either way they both are 211.

    Charcoal smoking

    My smoker is metal and it has pretty good thickness to it, not super thick. Need to research about hot rocks or something that will help with heat but I hear what ur saying about insulation.
