Honestly the bark looked and had the exact same texture as the SF and the Jambo Backyard that I’ve owned. It surprised me because I expected less and was prepared to adjust but I ran a simple rub of killer hog the bbq rub plus coarse pepper and kosher salt. If I would have gone pure Texas style it would have been like black grit sandpaper bark which I love but I’m prepping for comps and that mahogany is the move.
