Input appreciated

what smoker you have I have a PB4 and try cooking every thing in the middle . in my smoking I cook by meat temp not time because most of these pellet smokers do not get accurate temp through out the box and often the panel is inaccurate or the meat probs are off but I know my machine enough to know its so much off I get it close then check with a hand held thermometer for the finish

I usually start out on top and the move down when I wrap because of limited clearance.
Because of the hotspot in the center I put it in a pan on a rack.
