Looks like you have LazyQ down to a science! Nice "smoke ring".

Looks GREAT, Doug!  One "minor" recommendation... If I read it right, you sliced both before resting them; right?  If so, I would really urge you to resist that temptation until after the rest!  You will lose a lot of liquid through that gash, while resting, that you wouldn't otherwise!  When you remove meat that needs to be rested, it should be immediately wrapped (while closest to its desired temp), and placed in the cooler, surrounded by towels.  The bark kind of "seals" the surface of the meat.  While it is resting, initially all of the juices are still migrating toward the surface of the meat.  As it cools, that flow reverses, and much of the juice is re-absorbed back into the meat.  Your slice let most of that juice out, where it won't be retained by the meat.

The same thing happens with steaks on the grill.  I'm sure you've seen, or have immediately cut into a steak fresh off the grill.  Big puddle of juice on the plate, right?  Rest that same steak, before cutting, for 10-15 minutes, and that first slice will hardly have any juice on the plate...it stays in the meat!

Thanks Tony, very good advice! Small price to pay for enhanced juice. But this time I was in such a hurry to see the Smoke Ring I just had too. It was better on the Flat than the Point. I hesitated and only left it on for 15 vs the 30 you advised. Next time it will be 30.
Again, Thanks

You know after I posted that I remembered it wasn't just because I was in hurry to see that Ring. I usually just have to have a taste. OK, then another change in my MO in order just like Dave suggesting washing the outside of Packaged Cheese.

Old Dogs can in fact learn new tricks!, at least this one can.

Anyway it was good and the 33 Adults and 6 Children ate it all Gone. Forgot to take pictures of the sausage, but we all know what that looks like.
