nice cook bro in law wings look really good!  did you plug all the holes and save what little coal you had left? looks like you had both rods in for the breast cook and or the wings. what were your temps for the chicken cook in the barrel?

I didn't plug any holes, but I did make sure that both pieces of rebar were in at all times. With a heaping basket of KB, I was able to get about 6 hours of cooking, which I'm thinking was pretty good for as many times as I had to open up the lid to change foods, vent for crisping the wings, etc (which also inadvertently stoked the fire). The PBC started around 540F and gradually settled down to 290F within about an hour. I did the chicken first because I wanted to cook that quicker at the higher temps.
