Digital 4 Rack Assemble Questions

[OTB]

OK... the temp evened out along the way.  I think I am set to go.

I noticed my variety pack didn't come with apple, so I am going to use 3 pucks of Hickory and 3 pucks of cherry (since it is closer to apple).

I notice that it is only 10 degree icriments so I have set the oven temp to 230.

wish me luck.

Good luck OTB.   Many have said, all Bradleys have their own characteristics.   Temps can range widely within the chamber.  I have a digital probe under my butt that reads 226 right now and the door therm reads 200.  I have placed them side by side and they are within 2*, so there you go.   

10.5 and MPtubbs have vastly more experience and I bow to their wisdom.  I would never attempt to contradict their advise.   With that said, I think your plan is sound.  If not, have a plan B for dinner so as not to make it a negative experience.   

My plan B last night was brats on the grill.  I was in the low and slow mode, but had the grill to hot.  Ice cream goes a long way to making up for the crunch brats.

is 220 or 230 better temp range..or does it matter?
