Looks good. Hanging it probably helps the skin dry and adds smoke. Dutch oven and then a sear. I'd eat it.

I think @Jeremiah made a rig for hanging chicken from the top of an egg.

Maybe another run for @20stone and @caliking before the wives get home. A little rigging on the pit and waalaaa

I actually have a fire pit on my patio and an old folding cooking grate that we used to use when camping. I even have a dogwood tree that has branched out OVER the fire pit (35 years later). I could hang a chicken from the tree, build a fire in the pit and put the DO on the folding grid. If only I had firewood.

The PiT Barrel Cooker runs with the hanging process-just charcoal, no wood other than some smoke wood. Will have to give the dutch oven follow-on a run some day when I'm ambitious. No worries-not any time soon.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.

@lousubcap - how you liking the Pit Barrel? I can see this cook between a barrel and and egg or even a barrel and a pile of briquettes- Dutch oven - an briquettes on top of the DO-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini.

@Mattman3969 talk about a high capacity, fire and forget rig, that is what it is. I think it is best with chix-the dripping fat just yields quite a flavor. Solid performance with ribs, especially if you want to crank out 8 racks and all you have is a LBGE. For the $$ it has a place in the line-up. As you know every cooking fuel results in a different flavor profile. I would buy it again.
@Jeremiah also has one. Perhaps he will be along with his insights.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. -
I've been contemplating this style of cooking for a little while. I think I'm going to have to rig me up a deal that can be setup over my fire pit and moved when done cooking. All you would need is something on one side to cook for coals and a metal hanging rack wider than the pit. @Carolina Q I watched something the other day with him cooking something like this and it got me thinking about it.
Hmm.... let me drink on this. More to follow.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Also don't judge my fan and fire. My wife has already busted my balls. It's like 85 degrees out but it smells great."Brought to you by bourbon, bacon, and a series of questionable life decisions."

You could do that with a decent Santa Maria setup. Grid down lower, ci do on part of the grid, chickens hanging from the crossbar, part of the grid to crisp up the chicken. Just need one with enough real estate and rig something to hand the chickens.

However, now that I think of it, I do have a 6' bird feeder hanger that would probably work.

I thought it was some kind of Inquisition-style torture device, and stared at it quite awhile trying to figure out how it worked. d'Oh!_____________"I mean, I don't just kill guys, I'm notorious for doing in houseplants." - Maggie, Northern Exposure

My son loves his Pit Barrel. @Jeremiah brought his to Butt Blast and won him over. The advantages for it to drip over the coals changes things greatly all the way around.

Weber used to sell a rack for hanging stuff in their 18" & 22" WSM's. I used to hang ribs and chickens in mine until I got my KBQ.

They work great for cold smoking whole belly. Been wanting to make my own sausage, and use them for that.
I'm with ya on the KBQ, it's the chicken and rib combo killer.BrandonQuad Cities

La Parrilla... this isn't chicken, but it would be great on here. Good music too.
