Meat or sides first?

Today I am grilling bone in thighs, with baked potatoes, stuffed shrooms, and grilled asparagus.
Usually I get the sides done first, since they take the longest to cook, but since I had help with my prep, I put the chicken on first.
Will remove and foil the chicken while the taters cook for an hour , then put the shrooms on for the next 45 mins with the taters. Asparagus is last for only 20 mins on indirect low heat.
What is your normal line up?

Depends on what I'm cooking. Food that suffers when held is cooked last. I have enough cooking tools to do everything staged so it's all done at the same time. Trick is in planning and prep.

As above-more toys to reduce the need for in-depth planning and execution in the face of adult supervisory beverages.
But it's great that you can get it all organized and finished. Great work with your helper right there. Enjoy the cook and follow-on eats. BTW- the chix are looking great.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
Seems like you are taking a long time to cook your sides. Crank up the heat a little. I did asparagus last night raised direct at 450 and it took maybe 5 mins.

I would just do the sides in the oven or another apparatus. Something is going to pay the price for having to sit around and does the benefit of being cooked on the BGE outweigh the depreciation from not being fresh when you eat?Stillwater, MN

Usually , if I am doing baked potatoes, I will put them on first, and they are still hot by the time the meats are done.
Tried the asparagus with cherry tomatoes and onion rather than straight grilling, which is why it took a little longer.
All turned out great. -
This is why a Professional Bachelor™ owns two Eggs, and should have at least two more._____________

I was just curious how others prioritize their cooks, depending on which sides and entrees they are making. -
