Baking with a Pellet Smoker

So it's 99f out with a heat index of f*** Texas and I didn't want to run the oven in my house. I fired my smoker up to 425f and put on an HEB meal that calls for 14-17minutes and put it on for 20 minutes. When I checked it the pork was barely cooked.

I've taken the meat out of the tray and put it on some aluminum foil for another 10 minutes and I'm about to check it.

Is there some trick or cautions when trying to use my smoker as a replacement for my conventional oven? I thought convection ovens were supposed to be faster.

Interesting.

For those not familiar with HEB, these ready to cook meals are refrigerated and come in a disposable foil tray. The instructions are typically 350-400 for 15-20 minutes depending on what the dish is.

I took the pork out and put it on some foil close to the heat source and cooked it for another 10 minutes (30 total ) and it came out OK. I guess I'll just try this a few more times to see what my results are like.
