Pulled Venison at 11:25, excellent smoke flavor.
Coals still good so put 4 salmon fillets with my rub, sliced mushrooms and a 1/4 slice of bacon on top in at 11:35.
Added some coals and charcoal to keep heat up.

Pulled after an hour, should have pulled around:45-:50 minute mark, a little over cooked but good smoke flavor still...
