Ok, Pics below. Well, it was a challenge. 1st of all, why does Brinkman even put a thermostat on their units? They are absolutely worthless. My installed thermo was freaking 70 degrees off of what my oven thermo read. Ridiculous. I really need to get that wireless unit as it sucked to have to keep opening the door to peek at my temps. I did battle with temps some, having it almost get to 300 once, and having it get too low 2 other times. But I battled and started to get a handle on it by then end of the smoke. So a few more smokes and I should know my smoker, and how much fuel to add when I need to. But all in all, it came out fantastic. Finished it in the oven since I had temp issues. And I never hit a plateau. Went from 165- 205 in the oven (on 250) in about an hour and a half. The beans turned out HOT!!!!! Didn't mean to put in that much heat, but BOY were they tasty. All in all, got a LOT of compliments on the meal, and can't wait till I am good at this and really start churning out good Q. Here are the pics. Enjoy, I know I did. :)
