I hope the hive mind of the egg forum can help me on this one.

I'm having 12 people out to a party at my marina next Saturday.

I want to make 3 spatchcock chickens and marinaded flank steak on the egg a day or two ahead of time and then finish them on the open grill at the marina.

These grills are just a plate of metal on a stand with a grill above, no lid no body - the kind of thing you would only use for steaks, burgers and dogs.
Like this:

If Chicken should reach an internal temp of 165, when should I pull them off the egg and then the next day - how will I know that they are done on the open grill?  If I let them reach 165 on the second day, my guess is that they will be burned and/or dried out.

Anyone have any experience or knowledge to share on this? 

Thanks in advance!

    I would be scared to try this, but that's just me

    Yeah.. I don't know.. No way to really "partially" cook and finish them the following day.

    On a grill that small, and with that much food, you'd be looking at some issues anyways. You could try an indirect cook with it, but won't really help you much with no way to radiate the heat on the food.

    Maybe cook the food the day of, and plan to have them done before you meet everyone. Wrap it up, FTC it and carry it to them.

    Cook everything completely then reheat, you could always cook the flank steak fresh on the grill you pictured but I would do the spatched on the egg then just reheat...
