    It looks like the cuts are all touching. If that meat doesn't shrink some your timing may act like one huge hunk of meat.

    I know GG. That is why I am nervous. Should I take two off and put the grid with the legs on and two tier it?

    wow that's a lot of butts Molly. in the last picture i see a piece of foil that extends to the gasket, you might want to tuck it under the butt to allow better circulation, just my 2 cents :P keep us posted.

    Misippe Egger's thoughts might be good idea.

    I would let them cook for a few hours and see what happens then decide. They are going to shrink some.

    Molly, did you peek through the dome to make sure the dome thermometer probe is not stabbing/touching the upper-deck butt?

    How is everything coming Molly? You get back up to temp yet? Dont worry none bout that gasket, I aint had one on the med. in a long time and it aint seemed to make any difference in performance.

    cookn biker Posts: 13,407
    Not quite up there. Dome probe sticking in meat. Have oven therm on main grid reading 200. Tempt'd meat on top it was 120. Think I'm good. Will check in 30 /45 min. If same I will adjust. Daisy 3/4ths open, bottom open inch. Probably cause of the mass? BREATH...
