Hi All,

Well with the table finished and the egg assembled there seemed little point in waiting any longer... basically I was like a kid in a sweet shop and had to get it going. So I decided to go for my mate Bob's beer-butt chicken from his book "Heat and Smoke" (I can recommend it highly - http://www.heatandsmoke.com/ if you're interested).

So here we go:

Created a rub and applied it to the chicken after first coating lightly with olive oil. Opened can and used a little of the beer to soak the hickory. Then stuck a couple of crushed cloves of garlic into the beer can. Then stuck beer can up chook's ass. With the egg going strong I got the temp to about 400F and stuck the bird on. 

After about 40 mins I stuck on the peppers, and after about 50 mins the chicken was done (it wasn't big - 1.2kg) so took it off and rested it. Served it up with cous cous and salad, and of course the peppers.

Really happy with the first effort, the egg ROCKS!
