I was wondering last nite as I took off a batch of wings how many people use platesetters to cook chicken etc. I always seem to get too much char on my wings. Just wondering.

    What temperature do you cook them at? Try a lower temp to see if that makes a difference.

    I like cooking them 400-450 with the platesetter but will go high in the dome if direct

    I use a platesetter 90% of the time. Some cooks are up in the dome as others have said.
    Play with your temps and see if you can find a sweet spot.
