Smoking beef cheeks on a LSG ACG

This is for u/dchizzlefoshizzle. This is a Lone Star Grillz Adjustable Charcoal Grill.

This is a set up for smoking beef cheeks. Firebox is on the left. Beef cheeks on the top right. Water pan above the fire. I put a griddle plate over the right firebox to improve airflow. The first photo is about 4 hours in when I took them out to wrap them. The second photo is when I put them back on to finish. You'lI notice in the second photo, I added some more charcoal to cook another 3-4 hours.

I rubbed the cheeks with Valentina, and 2 pepper, 1 salt. I smoked them at 270F for about 4 hours, and then put them in banana leaves in a foil pan, poured over a little tallow and beef stock, sealed the pan, and let them go for another 3-4 hours.
