I didn't know that thighs need to go to 175. That being said the last chickens that I cooked went to 173. They were drier than the ones I pulled off at 165. I will try brining. I don't use the probe on the ribs. I do them by look and feel. But I did use it on the loin
Told you, you have come to the right place. Lots of folks willing to help, but you must remember that finishing temps/doneness is only part of the equation. Pit temps are also part, this is not a cake recipe.
It will be easier to help with each individual meat one at a time, so let us know which one you want to do first....oh by the way, cooking on a CS does have a small learning curve,yes?
