Picked up my egg yesterday and cooked spatchcock chicken. Man was it good. Only problem I had was waiting for the temperature to drop from 700. I guess I shouldn't have brought it up that high.[p]But once it dropped I kept her hummed in there at 350 for the entire cook. Used B & B charcol and it worked well. All guest were very impressed.

    Deetwood,
    Yes, in general, you should approach your target temperature from below and start closing down vents as the temperature slowly rises to where you want it. You can bring the temperature down fairly quickly at the beginning if the ceramic hasn't had a chance to heat up yet, but once the ceramic gets hot, lowering the temperature takes longer and longer.[p]TNW

    Deetwood,
    As a followup to TNW, there isn't a quick way to drop the temp. Opening the dome allows the fire to increase, burping the dome or the top vent is useless. It's just a time thing. Then after you shut all the venting off, and you wait and wait and wait, then your fire wants to puke on ya. [p]So, the key is slow rise to your target temp, and start closing the vents as you approach it.....way easier.[p]Mike in MN
