Daryl you may find that what you get is perfectly fine and doesn't need any modifications. I will warn you it is a long smoke/cook!

You have to plan a day and a half around it.
And sleep by the smoker if you don't have a PID :D

I would but take this one all the way to 152* IT then you would have the perfect comparison. Beings both halves come from the same Ham. You would know which way to do the next one.

Oh Chris,
If I was less lazy I would surely do that.
:D :D
My dad's coming up for turkey season mid-April and I was thinking of maybe doing the second half then.
He's impressed with the stuff i smoke.
