For me it was hard to keep the temp at 250. I was stuck around 200 for the longest time. I also made the mistake of not putting a drip pan. I did put a pan with water over the charcoal I didn't spray them either. I added chunks of applewood for the first few hours. I used McCormick Memphis rub and wegmans Memphis sauce for dipping. Other than the meat being a little fatty I think they came out good. Picture coming shortly.
