Chicken and ribs are on!

Here's a shot of the chicken and ribs about 2.5 hrs into the cook. I've lowered the pit temp to 240 on the DigiQ.



Dizzy Dust on the meat side of the ribs (spares and baby backs) and Benoit's Best on the bone side. The chicken was seasoned with Shakin' the Tree. I've never cooked chicken indirect at this temp, but I'm really interested to see how it'll turn out.

Did you put the chicken and ribs on at the same time? Do you expect them to be done around the same time? Thanks.

If you are talking about cooking chicken at rib temp (225 to 250), I think you will be amazed with the results.

Smoked drumsticks are one of my favorite and most surprising cooks on the BGE.

BTW, lovely pics

Chicken is done when it reaches temp.

In my experience, chicken does not take as long as the ribs. In my experience, chicken takes about 2-2.5 hours at rib temp.

If you have not had them before, you will be amazed.

There you go parner. Now your cooking!! Have done what you are doing many times and will turn out great. Next time do whole quarters instead of seperate thighs and drums. They cook better togeather to me. The yard bird should be getting close to done. At least the drums. Stick "Q"'s meat probe to check if in doubt. Carefull with the bird and don't over cook!

wow you were not kidding last night when you said you bought a lot of stuff to cook today.
and you were right about the sear temp i did the last strip on the mini today and the onion in the montreal seasoning got burnt to a crisp good thing it scraped off.
try to get pics of the chicken before you chow down.
