I've cooked 3 small chickens 5# each at once on the large.

Awesome! I will get three then. The more the merrier. Also what temp do you smoke them at and roughly what temp do you pull them off at when using spatchcock?

Jason must have taken a nap, so I'll answer ...

I have a large egg and set the grate raised (felt line) direct with the temp at 375 degrees. Take the chicken off at the same temps as you normally do. I pull at 165 for breast and 180 for legs. Try to place the legs in the hottest part of the egg so they catch a little extra heat. With one chicken, that's towards the hing.

Good luck ... don't forget to test with one brined and one not. Clip the wing tip on one of them so you'll know which is which ... otherwise you won't know.

Sorry, kid activities today.

@Jeepster47‌ hit it. Raised direct anywhere from 375 to 425 dome temp. About an hour. Breast 160-165 thigh 180-185.

Also, if you have time, rest uncovered in the fridge overnight the night before to dry out skin. You can also dust LIGHTLY with corn starch or backing powder or mix it with rub to help with crispy skin.

Ok dumb question I don't know how to raise the grill. Maybe I don't have that accessory yet? All I have right now is a plate setter, ash tool, and nest. Plus whatever I have for my gasser like the igrill.

You can do them indirect if you wish, or set three empty beer cans on the fire ring and the grid on that.

You can use firebricks, cans, pieces of angle or buy something aftermarket. I use firebricks.

Woo is what I use to raise the grid. It is the best eggcessory I have.

ummgood · January 2015

Ok I checked them at 4 hours.

You guys do have some funny chickens in Texas ...

ummgood · January 2015

Haha we call everything chicken... Just like every carbonated beverage is called Coke. When I first moved here I asked for coke and they asked what kind.
