Hello all,
I just started smoking a few weeks ago and I’m loving it, but running into some issues and can’t seem to find what I’m looking for with google searches.
I’ll put the details of my equipment at the bottom.
So, my issue is that I can never seem to get an accurate internal temperature with the built in probe or another probe that I have.
For example, I cook chicken breast and it never gets up to 165. It got up to 134. It looked done, so I took one out and cut it and it was white all the way through and dried out a little.
Same thing with a pork tenderloin. It got to about 130 and never got to 145. Also looked done, so I cut it, and same thing. White all the way through and a little dry.
The beef I was cooking seemed accurate though. I was able to get it to about 142 and when cut, perfect medium rare.
Any help for this newbie would be much appreciated.
This is the smoker I have
Smoke Hollow 36" Digital Electric Smoker
This is the thermometer I bought, and it seems to work really well.
