Wood-50/50 Oak & Cherry

Chicken-4Pounds (Jetnet) for containment.

Stuffing-Bacon, shrimp and cheese. (Lots of it)

    Thank you brother. When I'm onshore I try to cook a lot. Why? Because I never know when I'm going back offshore for months and won't be able to cook. I try to capitalize when I'm onshore. Again thanks for the kind words.

    The egg fell to 350 degrees once the juices started flowing. No vent adjustments. Why? The temp will come back to 375 on it's own.image

    Thanks my friends.
    @blind99‌
    As to the drip pan. You can actually use one whenever you like. Here is a guide that I follow. Again it's just something that I do that works well for me. It's not a rule or must.
    If cooking 1 hour or less=No drip pan.
    If cooking longer than 1 hour= Use drip pan.
    Just how I do it my friend.

    Burgers were roasted indirect at 325 degrees for 6 minutes. Then seared on a cast iron grid on the spider at 900 degrees for 45 seconds a side. Salt and pepper only for the burgers.
    Corn, rice and tomato gravy for sides.imageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimage

    Is the netting elastic-like? Or do you tie up the ends to tighten it?

    @Biggreenpharmacist‌
    It has some stretch to it but it's not really elastic. Yes you do have to tie or you can use a piece a little oversized and simply "tuck" as long as the meat is not massive. If you look at the chicken above you can see that I left both ends open or untied due to it being a small piece of meat. On butts tying is a must.
