Snack Sticks Question

[bbadinger]

I have a 4 rack BS. I cut lengths at 26" and hang over a oak dowel mounted at the highest rack height. After smoking I cut each half (13") in half again and cut off the ends and the fold. I always end up with great sticks. If you cut before you smoke you will end up with dry ends.

So basically if i cut them before i will want to cut them again because the ends will be a little dried out sound correct?

Ok i hope this the last question but where do you guys check the temp when u think they are done.  Just stick it in the middle of each section i am guessing!?
