I like your style of "I can do better next time", but I agree with the folks above "looks like you nailed it."

Thanks everyone. I've just had the last of it for lunch and its on sale for $1.99 per pound so i'll probably do another one this weekend. Was going to try a brisket but I think I'll wait till i get a better thermometer and a little more practice with maintaining temp. Really loving the egg so far!!!XL BGE & Mini - CT USA
