birds got rubbed with OO, garlic, lemon zest, thyme, garlic, S and P. On the egg indirect, 350ish:



Done:


Ate them with beans, roasted carrots and roasted radishes. I swear radishes are the most under appreciated veggie.... 




I picked up a generic lighter today - like a version of the Eggniter or looftlighter. Seems pretty cool - gets a few spots burning in a few minutes. I've used so many ways to start the egg now, next I'll be trying a magnifying glass.

    Great looking cook-and if you want to truly hit the home-run rotate it around 90* for presentation.  Then you will slide into the diamond plate society and that makes everything look and taste much better.  Trust me on this...

    Gorgeous plate!  That looks delicious.  You don't like the MAPP torch?

    @bgebrent sometime post me a pic of the mapp torch setup you use. I bought a small head/igniter that fits on a small propane canister but it sucks when turned upside down. I usually use a chimney full of charcoal on my gasser side burner - but if I forget and leave it it really makes a lot of unattended fire...

    This torch works great upside down.  It is refillable with propane.  Lowes or HD.  You get some sparking but I love it.

    @bgebrent thanks buddy - that looks ideal. This thing I got worked nice, but have to plug it in. In a few months when wife forgets, I may get one of those mapp gizmos. I got the maverick torch head from firecraft awhile back - no bueno
