I like that. How long did you cook them for? Did you get much smoke flavor??

Thanks Gary,

I used the offset to smoke the tails.
Royal oak lump charcoal with some chunks of cherry wood.
Smoked them on a Weber grill pan.
Basted along the way with melted butter.
In the smoker at around 240 degrees +/- for about 20 minutes then onto the Webber charcoal grill at high heat for another 10 minutes +/-.
Did the whole run with the shell side down and basted with butter all the time. The tasted of a light smoke and finishing on the charcoal grill really worked.
I did the timing primarily by translucency and color.

Let me know if there are other questions
