As for your cooker temp where are you getting that temp. From the lid thermo?, one on the grate? etc. I have the Chargriller duo and side box. The lid temp is always high, and then temps move warmer to cooler from right to left as you get farther from the fire.
And another note, if I was you I'd take a look at this mod. It make your life a lot easier and may raise your temps to right where you need them. |
Thanks for the link, I'll be looking for a basket tomorrow. The temp was from the one in the lid and also from one sitting on the rack to the left side. I pulled the off about 315 and checked with a meat thermometer. They were reading 140 so I covered with foil and stuck them in the oven at 180 until 7 and turned off the oven and left them in till 8. Pulled them out let them rest till 10. Pulled 2 of them to take up to my nephew's church for opening day off little league baseball where the went over great. Pulled the other 2 about 1 and they were even better.
