Y'all don't mind me.
No need to reply to this thread as I'm just separating out different recipes into their respective forum.

I’m beginning to remember why I shouldn’t read your posts :) I end up cooking them and getting fat(ter) LOL.

When trimmed and headed to the smoker is that just salt & coarse pepper for the seasoning?

Thanks.
Yes, just Salt & Pepper on those.
But sometimes I use more spices.
