HolySmokes,
And I've never done one indirect. So, it probably doesn't matter....[p]TNW

Did one yesterday... elevated, w/drip pan (indirect), no plate setter, at 225 for about 5 1/2 hours....tented the breast for about the last hour. It was brined....and, it was great. ChefWil's instruction, so I trusted it. [p]Mike

Whiz,[p]probably means we should both try something
new and see how we like it![p]cheers, HS
