Same concept as what you did with the bread but with raw dough.

take a couple cans of those instant biscuits and place them throughout the pellet cooker to see where your hotter spots are.

your hot spots on that are most likely gonna be around the edges where the drip try ends on each side and whatever end your stack is on.....

Me and my blanket cover smoked some chicken last night,

Come cheapo drumsticks and a bottle of ranch salad dressing.  I poured both into a bowl and than added some chalula and franks hot sauce
Mixed and placed on the smoker.  Two hours or so than I got hungry and turned up the heat till inside temp was 165

Results were tasty and I would add more hot sauce next time

Does anyone have a preference to what side of the rack they place down?

3-2-1 on baby backs is a bit long in my experience.  I do 2-1.75. and 1 or thereabouts.  Tweak to your temp and preference.

 I use apple juice to spritz every 45-60 min and then a bit in the foil before wrapping. Then either plain or I use Stubbs with a bit of honey

I'd steer clear of the Worcester sauce. Too much salt.

I salt a few hours before rub and no salt in rub. Salt is the only seasoning that penetrates so i put it on early and let the meat come to room temp.

I've read that smoke only penetrates for about 2 hours. For my pulled pork I smoke 2 hours then put it in a tinfoil pan covered tightly and cook until its 203 degrees with a remote thermometer in the center (I know sounds crazy hot- but it supposedly renders the last bits of fat and it works for me). I'm a dry rub guy and for babybacks and I cook them in tinfoil from start to finish (I know....a heretic). I go 200 for 4 hours. When they're done I unwrap them and put them on the grille to "dry" them a bit (they are totally wet from the rendered fat when I take them out of the tinfoil). I might put a little sauce on for folks that like sauce but I like 'em dry.

Wilbur, try letting your butts run open until they hit 165 internal, then wrap until 200+.  it will help get a good bark set.

there has been no scientific proof that I have seen that states meat will only take X amount of hours of smoke, the pink ring around beef and pork is actually a chemical reaction within the meat when smoke is applied.

Haha! I totally missed that!

But I  think you're right on the smoke.....I started wrapping when I did 100 lbs of pulled pork for my sons grad party. I did it to avoid what this site calls "the stall"...

http://amazingribs.com/tips_and_technique/the_stall.html

It usually takes me a couple of hours to get to about 150 but maybe if I tried to go longer it might be even better. I was more concerned about getting it all done when I started wrapping. I will try one longer.

For pulled pork I like NC vinegar sauce and usually add a small amt of regular BBQ sauce. I put both out for people so they can pick their own.

Oil at 375, deep fry 10 minutes.  Salt pepper on the wings, drain on paper towels. toss in a bowl with sauce of choice.

I don't broadcast it due to possible conflicts of interest but let's just say my part time "hobby" at the local pub has paid off substantial debt, allowed my creative outlet and caused me to gain a little weight. This is what I was making last night. stout braised corned beef brisket with house made thousand, marbled rye and swiss w/ really good kraut and fries. deli sliced the corned beef, then flat topped it for heat and color, layered the kraut and melted the swiss into it before throwing in the press. It did not suck.
