It looks a bit scorched but once you get some belly wood off you’ll be fine. You may have had it too close to the coal bed if that’s after one hour. Next time try to aim for 2-3 hours and start with bow about 18-20” above the bed belly down. Then check it for Color change after an hour if none then lower it down a few inches. A good coal bed should last at least 2-3 hours depending on outside temps. Just fyi for next one. If you are still getting a reading on your meter after that cook then hit it again with the heat gun or another coal bed treatment. Don’t flex too much at this point let it rehydrate a bit. After a day or so it should just barely register a mc reading and not get near 10% no matter what humidity is. Keith Shannon uses the term hydrophobic to describe this ability to repel moisture absorption.
