I work for my father in law, and today was his birthday, and for lunch I cooked him his favorite meal which happens to be grilled chicken.
I told him on Monday my wife wanted to have him over for lunch today, and he said there wasn't any need to make a fuss about it. When I told him I planned on egging chicken for lunch his face lit up! He said that would be perfect and that I could leave as early as I needed to in order to get everything ready. I have found that when you tell someone you are planning on egging it changes things.
I left around 9:30 this morning and came home and cleaned both eggs out and loaded them with Rockwood and lit them. I used hickory for smoke and cooked 6 breasts raised direct on each egg at around 375.
They were perfect and came off the egg right at noon. It was a great meal, and he was very happy. My parents came over as well. I didn't get back to my office until around 2 this afternoon.
It was 59 and the wind was blowing today. Freaky cool for us in September. Overall a great day!

This did not happen. But if the pictures by chance just got lost in the interwebs somewhere, it sounds great!Dunedin, FL

This is the only proof I have. You will just have to take my word for it.

If you say it, I believe it my friend. Your word is as good as money in the bank to me. That said, excellent job my friend. As to the weather. I know that of which you speak of. This has been the coolest September that I can remember. It has got down to as low as 93 degrees a few times already. That's unheard of down here my friend.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.
