I’m curious too — 230F seems low for that amount of time. I’ve cooked plenty of meat in a smoker at 200-250F, but it takes many hours. On the flip side I agree 450F (~230C) sounds a bit high, but not imo catastrophically so.

If I set my piece of crap Hotpoint oven to 230 C then it will eat to 260. So thermostat inaccuracy also has to be considered!
