    <p />mitch,[p]For wings, thighs and legs try raising your grill up a few inches from the fire ring to the "sweet spot"... this is about half an inch below the bottom lip of the egg. You can use 3 carriage bolts as legs.
    The sweet spot is just far enough from the fire to give you a little more control and less of a chance of burning the parts.
    Get your egg stable and cleanly burning to 250-75 dome temp. Put the chicken on and cook for about 1.5 - 2 hours flipping every 20 minutes or so and keeping an eye for any hot spots... mine usually resides at 2 o'clock.
    Sauce if you like 20 - 30 minutes before pulling off and you've got good eating.[p]Good Luck!

    WooDoggies,
    I agree with BBQBob. I just had to lick some drool off the screen. Man it is too close to lunch. Thanks for sharing the pics Woo and if you would not mind sharing the recipe for that chicken I would be mighty appreciative![p]-Kevin

    Thanks dudes... that shot was taken by Chubby at Waldorf earlier this year and they are ChefRD's Hot Wings except I used legs which work as well as wings and are a nice nonmessy chicken-on-a-stick outdoor cookoff alternative.[p]Same recipe and times as posted on the dizzy pig recipe page linked below. This is my all time favorite way to do wings and legs... Ron Litaker should receive a medal for his recipe.[p]John
