Deetwood,
I go direct with a raised grid with a temp about 325. Good luck, Tom

Deetwood,
I've tried it direct-lower grid, direct-upper grid, indirect and most recently, in a skillet. I can't say one is better than the other but I usually do them direct and they turn out great. Spring Hen likes 'em direct. Here they are in the skillet.[p][p]I think it depends on my mood at the time. Direct gives me something to do - turning them frequently, while indirect forces me to just sit around and wait. I hate waiting. The skillet batch was just to help season the skillet but the ABT's were so good I may do it again.[p]Spring "ABT's For Breakfast, Snack, Lunch, Snack, Dinner and Snack" Chicken

Deetwood,
I never do them direct......All that bacon fat dripping in the fire creates a foul-smelling smoke that affects the taste of the ABT's. I've done thousands of these in my life and indirect is the way to go. Either put a drip pan under them or aluminum foil. And cook them at 350 degrees with some smoke, either from hickory or apple, or both.

Spring Chicken,
thats an idea! the abts will still be getting
smoke, and ceramics -heat, and the bonus will
be --frying in the bacon fat. must try it :-)
best regards

Ditto the indirect method. I use foil on the plate setter to catch the drippings. Dang, now I want some ABTs....

Deetwood,
We do them direct on a raised grid at about 325-350 with the cheese side down for about 20 minutes then turn for the remainder of time.
We love the smoke flavor the bacon drippings give off.
