What is the formula?
Subtract 32, then multiply by 5/9. So (190 − 32) × 5/9 = 87.8 °C.
Do I need to be exact?
For pit temperatures, no — a smoker swinging 15 °F either side of target is normal and fine. For internal temperatures, yes: the difference between medium rare and medium is about 10 °F, which is well inside the range where rounding matters.
