I was told dinner is at 6 so I put it on at 3:30 indirect at 400 to have time to clean up. Wife tells me they want to eat at 5 now. I opened it up a little, jumped to 480 and now have a lot of smoke. I have it back to 400. Internal is 169 on beast. Am I ok?

    169* Breast? If so, pull it off now. If thigh temp, you have a bit more time.

    I pull when the coolest internal temp of the breast is 155F.  The dark meat should be 170-ish.  It will rise up to 160, at least.   When I sous vide breasts, I cook to 147F.  Dark meat needs higher temps or longer times to break down the connective tissue and lose the stringyness.

    I don't live that close to a power plant it is one whole chicken and 10 extra drumsticks. My son likes them the most. He had two tonight for dinner. The chicken was good, but I think the extra smoke was noticeable in the favor, but not enough that they didn't taste good. I learned that next time I am going direct next time and I didn't put enough brown sugar in the brine. It was very juicy. Here is my set up on the egg today.
