This CHX practice was at a high temp tonight. W/ 3/4 of a chimney of K coals, temp settled in at 330 at grate level and 325 on the ProQ's top thermometer. It was good to see that the temps on a legit thermo vs the ProQ's were fairly similar. Usually I see a +/- 10 degrees between the two.
I was definitely going for a taste/texture practice tonight and not an appearance thing. I smoked on peach wood for the first time ever, and actually loved it. I only used one baseball sized chunk of peach wood.
It was a fast cook, but the temp held steady throughout. I am actually smoking some brats now since we still have some heat.
The CHX was definitely very tasty, but not too easy on the eye if viewed from a comp standpoint.
