About an hour n' half in:


Will post some finishing pics later. Doing a no foil smoke; will keep these on for about 7 hours and will sauce on the last hour.

Looks like it's going to be a tastey meal right there !!!

Very nice work. Always nice to have helpers.

Also I like the idea of the cork on the thermometer. From the lack of smoke on the cork looks like a first time use.

I read about the cork from someone on here. I decided to try it out. I normally use a half of a lime or lemon and that seems to work ok.

The little guy is at the busy age, fun but keeps you on your toes, a man on a mission!!

Lookin like a great start! I have been tempted to add a propane Smoke Vault to the arsenal. Also I like your no foil idea. I am starting to want to try to experiment without using foil. Make sure you keep us posted!
