Hope all is well with everyone, I haven't been doing anything ultra special but did have a good Sunday cook on what was the best day of the year so far in Georgia. Did our normal weekly chicken breast with Oakridge dominator rib rub, had some deer tenderloins in the freezer that needed to be used so thawed them and gave them a rub from the last exchange and then did some burgers for my boys.
Chicken breasts indirect, few chunks of mesquite at about 300 till they hit about 160 and then pulled. I've found that they still cook up to the needed temp if covered. I'd be curious as to others takes but that works good and they are pretty nice and juicy.
Deer went direct for quick 1.5 min/1min and they probably could have cooked a little less. Still excellent sliced over salad for dinner that night.
Burgers went direct at about 350, turned out flawless. A little more cooked than I would like but for 6 and 8 year olds, pink = no eat. Still the flavor was spot on and fully eaten so success! Nothing earth shattering but solid basic cooks that were well received at the casa.

Nice looking food. Welcome back. I do the same with all my meat actually. I do the same with all my meats. I always try to take them off the grill before they hit target temp. IMO they would be over done after you rest them if you do not.

I pull chicken breasts at 150. 165 is overcooked over simplified. At 150, you will get enough carry over and hold time to make it perfectly safe to eat and be 10 times juicier. As long as it's 150 for at least 72 seconds. (about as long as it takes to walk inside from the grill) it's as food safe as 165 for 0.1 seconds.

Looks good preppy. I agree with Grim. I usually pull my CB around 155 and bring in to rest. If I'm going to be eating it in the next 10-15 min no need to cover either.Large and Small BGECentral, IL
