Subzero chicken

January 2016 in EggHead Forum

I picked up a new Kick Ash Basket so I figured I had best try it out yesterday despite the frozen Minnesota tundra. I cut up a 6 pound home grown chicken and off I went.

It had been a while since I removed all the used lump out of the firebox but combined with the KAB it came up to temperature fast! I wanted to cook at 375 but it shot right past and I caught it a bit over 400. The good thing about -5 deg weather is the Egg cools down quick.

Cooked raised direct at 375 degrees with a Cookshack Spicy Chicken rub.

Excellent view! Nothing better than the cold and snow. Don't let the sissies in the south tell you otherwise(and I'm from South Carolina).

It's pretty but I'm glad it's your backyard brother. Good looking chicken!

@Jellyworm - I like it. I'm a believer. Removing all the old lump is as simple as picking up the basket & shaking it out.
