A quick roasted chicken for dinner...

Day 9 of a low carb diet. Had this little bird in the freezer for a while. Fossil Farms roasted chicken with a few veggies. Forgot the name of the rub but it was mildly spicy. Even got the kiddos to eat it! 



For all you experts out there with the FB200, and pit probes in general, I'm having a little trouble with positioning the pit probe... I can get the egg up to temp and steady just fine, but where is the best place to position the probe once the meat goes on? The first time I used it, it was too close to the (relatively cold) meat and the FB200 cranked the fan so that the dome temp was way higher than it should have been. Plus I find a pretty significant gradient in my egg (back of the egg near hinge is hotter than the front near the handle). I know this is an expected phenomenon due to airflow etc, but even in the pic above, the probe was initially too close to the chicken and I had to move it to keep the FB200 from running the fan at 100%.

Don't remember exactly.  I think around 350.

Edit: just looked in my flame boss history (what an awesome feature!). It was set at 350.
