So im now 8 hours into these. never wrapped as I didnt expect them to need it. they are hovering around 174... smoker temps started at 215 and now im up to 240.
What in the heck!
What in the heck!
I kicked it up about an hour ago to 240, I have never had a rack take 8 hours though to hit 190. Im just wondering if im overcooking them at this point.215 is pretty low I always do mine 225-250, usually takes 5-6 hours
Well one is the one built into my bbq the other is a therma pen both read the sameIf they are bending easily, they may be done. What therm are you using and have you checked it for accuracy?
LOL.. all worried about nothing...
Thinking your Chamber temps are not what you think they are ...
Glad all is good ...
Yep, sounds like you're not getting a true cooking temp.
Thermometer originally built into smoker?
Hard to trust those unless it happens to be a TEL-TRU and well placed.
The Thermapen isn't ideal for measuring cooking temps, it's meant for temps in solids or liquids.
Get ya a therm that will accurately measure grate temp.
Inkbird is a sponsor here and makes decent and budget friendly digital therms. And they post a lot of sales too.
I misunderstood you.I cant use the Thermapen to measure meat temps? thats what I meant, Ive got a few other therms I will do a test run with and see if the other sensor is off.
Its very possible.
I misunderstood you.
Yes it's fine for meat.
