The results were great! Moist and delicious. Some observations, conclusions and lessons learned.
•Tying thin end to thick makes a lot of sense and would have made for more uniform cooking. Thanks David!
•I was surprised at the amount of smoke it took on in only 1.25 hours. Not sure if this was do to the use of pellets or the type I used? I did notice a good smoke started in less than 15 minutes vs 20-25 with chunks. Maybe I'll try less or another type next time.
•Undecided on the John Henry's pecan rub, almost couldn't taste it. Maybe didn't use enough or just not the right smoke for it? Would like to use again on something different.
•Having the water pan was a waste of good aluminum.
•Will try a reverse seer on the grill next time to add some texture.
Overall very happy with the results. A quick, easy dinner for a weekday night.
