INTERNAL FOOD temperature: 4 x removable food probes to indicate when your food is cooked. - Page 6 As explained in this guide, heat from briquettes or lump charcoal can vary. Individual lump wood species will have different densities and moisture content, producing non-identical heat output. While the below serves as a guide, we always recommend monitoring the 4K and the heat stability during cooking to avoid any prolonged drops in temperature.
