4. Off the smoker and resting for a few minutes

Only foil was on the legs. Didn't foil anything else during the cook.

Nice, what's the proper way to prepair the legs? Just cut the access skin?

 

[Roast Beast]

What did the bones look like at the end? The skin/meat looks great.

I think it's so that the ends don't burn and blacken.

Basically take and cut the skin and tendons about 1/2" below the knuckle and pull that skin off. Then take and work the meat down and remove the rest of the tendons and the smaller bone that is connected to the larger leg bone.

Bones looked good. Not burnt which is the reason for the foil

Every piece had a nice bite through skin on it. Had the family try it and all of them said they loved them.

Those legs look great. Thinking about trying legs instead of thighs for comps. A lot less work for legs.
