Since I started using Kamado cookers more frequently than my oven,
yes, for most meats (other than low-and-slow cooked BBQ) I have
started raising the cooking temperature about 25 to 50 (maybe even 75
or 100) degrees depending on my mood and how hungry I am. A good
instant-read thermometer is definitely a plus since all cooking times
are out the window, so to speak.
