The idea is that the pores on the meat close up at 140º, allowing no more smoke. Therefore only the surface area and possible thru the smoke ring will take on more. Possibly the density of the meat may or may not allow more also. I don't over smoke stuff, so have never had to do any cutting.Flash according to that thought you could just cut the outer part off of something that was over smoked and that has not been my experience
Remember Piney........
Good smoke on right.
