Into the fridge to await their return to the grill...

Fired up the Memphis with a setpoint of 275F and hopper loaded with Pecan. After preheating onto the grill...

I smoked them until the largest leg of chicken read 150F IT. That was about 1 hour and 15 minutes....

After that I pulled the balls out and upped the setpoint to 425F. I grilled the chicken for about 15 minutes more...

They took on a real nice color with the Tatonka Dust...

I then put the balls back on the grill at 425F for 10 minutes to give them some color and render the fat in the sausage a little bit...

After 10 minutes I pulled them off the grill...

Then I made a Balsamic Vinegar Glaze using brown sugar and heating until thickened...

Chicken and balls plated with rice. I drizzled the balls with the glaze...

The pulled pork balls were better than I expected. Even though the pulled pork was already cooked and previously frozen it was still very moist. I liked how the Balsamic vinegar paired with the maple sausage and how the rice absorbed the vinegar.

The Tatonka Dust on the chicken was really good. It almost gave it a rotisserie chicken flavor. There is also just a slight amount of heat with the dust. It is a keeper :)

Muebe,
You did it again!! Another fantastic looking meal. I love the use of the pulled pork. I just need to get some of that Tatonka Dust, I guess. I keep seeing all that food that it has been used on.
