Nice. Glad to hear it worked out (sounds like) better and easier than you expected.No, I did not.
Had them on the grill for 6 hours, and then finished them for the final 2 hours in the pan w/ a light marinade. Had some great crisp bark to it, that was fantastic.
I have heard some people with pellet poopers complain about lack of bark or smoke flavor. I do know that Mad Scientist BBQ has done a lot of work on trying to get the same kind of results on a pellet pooper as his traditional stick burners, so maybe check him out on Youtube.
