great comments guys, thanks...
here's what i did:
butts on a large, brisket on a large, then pull butts in the morning and put on ribs on that large, then chicken on the medium.
i thought the chicken was too dark also, i was going for bite through skin. i tried one too small piece and the entire skin came off, so with being too dark, i though it was my worst entry. great flavor though, and my friends liked the reject pieces.
ribs from two slabs because the fire was hotter on one side of the egg and kinda overcooked a small slab. not sure why i did the diagonal layout. i was kinda loopy at that point with 1.5 hours of sleep :shock:
i also tore up a bunch of the ribs trying to cut them so i had to go with the best six.
pork... good comments and i'll try them all. my framily and friends said it tasted great (but then again, it was free to them :biggrin
brisket, i think i cleaned off the two spots on the front slice after the photo. everything was blurry to me at this point. i had to angle because the slices were too long. maybe trim to fit the box prior to smoking
just a call in chicken, bubba, but i almost fell over when i heard it. i was wondering about those chicken scores too. maybe some pieces just weren't as good.
