Was on 4 1/2 hrs ?? IT read 152...Pulled and checked with another therm and probe 179. Resting now...

Camera doesn't like the led light,it's not scorched. Dark mahogany.

Should be okay. The breast on my bird was at 175 when i took it off. It was still very juicy!

Thanks Gary,but what I meant was it dropped my batting average not improved it. :(

More of a sacrifice fly no harm to the batting avg.. Was it still moist - still looks good from here. BTW just curious what's 150/319?

Point for sure.

I missed it.. Looks dark on one little area.
That sux your probe failed you.. Lol.. Looks good though..

Only one I ever smoked since I been here I took the bones out and rolled it.

Probe didn't fail.Hadn't done one in a pan in a looong time.The breast of the bird that was leaning on the pan was 179* and the other was 152*.Did one on Thanksgiving on top rack over pan on bottom rack that was beautiful.Though it was 23* on X-mas,cold does do some weird things to smokes.No more in pan for me.

Wow.. You wouldn't think that heat would transfer like that just from leaning.
Must have been close to the direct heat going up the edges of the smoker grates.

Yeah,crazy.The breasts I get are very consistent at 7.5 lbs and normally take 3-3.5 hrs.This one was 7.5# on 4.5 hrs and not even done on the one side.
