Yes, you can do it w/o the plate setter. Keep your temp around 350.

Thanks .. . am going to give it a try tomorrow.Manitoba, Canada Large BGE

What kind of holder do you have? A can full of beer works well. I try to keep some form of liquid in the cavity. Direct at 350 for me.

You will be happy with this cook but you should try spatchcock a try. It gives a crispier skin and takes a little less time. like a great fellow egger say's "It's all good!'

You simply take a poultry shears and cut out the backbone. That way the chicken lays flat and cooks more evenly. I think the naked whiz has a detailed pictography on his site.

Bente - I think you type faster tahn me. :laugh:

You did leave the link. I forgot to click on it.
Thanks ... went and took a look. Looks simple and kinda cool.
My wife wants a slow cook on the chicken tomorrow. Wants it to be "smokey" .. Have a seven pounder to do.
Set it at 350 and wait and check it after a few hours and see where I am at ..Manitoba, Canada Large BGE -
Poultry takes smoke pretty quickly. You don't have to do it slow to get a good smokey flavor.

if you want it smokey then use the platesetter!!
and lower your heat to 250 and add some wood! i prefeer cherryhappy eggin

Would love to use a platesetter. Can't, as the BGE Dealer in the area does not carry them in inventory. Says that he can't afford to carry the inventory as he does not sell very much.
Should not be a dealer for BGE then I think. I had to order the pizza stone, platesetter and the grill extender.
Sucks to have to wait.Manitoba, Canada Large BGE -
then check the bird more often than "after a few hours and see where I am at.."
should take about hour to an hour and a half for 7 pounds @350

Thanks. That is way faster than in the oven.Manitoba, Canada Large BGE

The egg cooks like a convection oven which is faster then a conventional one. Carefull on the amount of wood chips, chicken can get to smokey and ruin the taste. It will have a smokey flavor just from the lump so go light on the additional chips. Also smell the egg exhaust before you put the bird on. Should smell good, if it smalls rancid allow the lump to cook a little longer.
