Bone-in chicken, vs boneless cook times

Made chicken thighs and taters (in the drip pan) tonight. Easy-peasy, indirect, ~300. I needed chicken for tomorrow, too, for chicken, tomato, mozzarella tarts so I put b/s thighs on too. I thought the b/s pieces would be done before the bone-in thighs (per a thermapen) so I put them on at the same time, and put the bone-in thighs at the back. (I lit the lump at the back and right sides.)

Everything hit 170 at the same time. Go figure. That much more heat in the back, or bone mass doesn't make a big difference in an egg?

    Thickness to the center is what really counts i think. Bone is almost irrelevant. Not really a heat sink
