That's Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs...
16 pieces of average size...that is, if I can still count.
Freshly cracked Weber's Kickin Chicken to start the fiesta:

I was pushing close to 3 hours on these, as I didn't want to get carried away with the cast iron charcoal coal grate mod and have to remove briquettes to bring it under control again. Average grate level temps were ~200-205*.
I stacked the smaller ones up in the center of the grate as their I/T's reached 160* and kept the larger thighs loose 'til 165*:

A small percentage were just a touch on the dry side, even though I placed the larger ones towards the outside and the smaller ones towards the center, as the grate temps do run cooler directly above the center of the water pan. I may need to add a vent to the top of the lid and put a seal on the lip of the lid to correct that minor issue. Otherwise, she's doing a nice job for only having her third smoke today.
EDIT: at least I think that's only her third smoke...so many smokers and sooooooo many smokes
Happy smokes, everyone!
