Does the pie take up the smoke flavor and if so how did it come out? It looks fantastic!! What flavor pellets did you use?

@NU2SMOKE I have tried this recipe in my RecTec Bull and the RecTec comp pellets. The pie turned our amazingly well and you do get a hint of a smoke flavor in my opinion.

Really at 400 F you're not smoking at that point.
