Looks great! On your set up, It looks like you did not use the snake method. Is this because you used the partyq? Can you explain how you set up your charcoal?
Thanks for the help!
Sure Terry and thanks! I didn't use the snake method, instead I used the Slow N Sear tool. See below
I filled the SNS with a chimney full of unlit briquettes, about 4 chunks of pecan wood and then added about 12 fully lit coals at the very corner of it. Then I filled the water reservoir with hot water. NOW...you can either use a partyq and shut all the vents closed and let the unit control your heat like I did, or you can do without the partyq and fully open the top vent and control your heat manually using the bottom vents. The key to controlling your temperature whether using the SNS or the snake method...is being patient and gradually let your temp rise to your idea temp. It is very hard to tame a hot kettle. Once those coals get hot and red, you're in a dogfight to maintain a good steady temp. The key here is low and slow. Get your meat on the grill BEFORE your desire temp. Good luck.
