Title: Black Iron Cheesy Spuds and Chicken Thighs
Post by: HighOnSmoke on November 11, 2013, 06:41:34 PM
I started off with some golden potatoes with butter, onion and garlic seasoned with Way Out West.
Put onto the Grid Iron at 325 degrees and using a mixture of apple and hickory pellets.

45 minutes later and I added the chicken thighs to the cooker.  2 of the thighs were seasoned with
Tatonka Dust and the other 2 with BPS Sweet Money.

Verifying temperatures with my Maverick.  This new controller rocks! I talked with Blaz’n Grill works
today to get the cooling shutdown time lowered and Tim at Blaz’n walked me through the procedure.
I wish I had the manual on what each of these C settings stood for (but that could be dangerous in my hands 8))
as the fan setting control was at C30.  Talking with a few other members of this board I believe they are correct
in saying this is probably the same controller that the Memphis and the Rec Tec use.

I added some Mexican style cheese and crumbled bacon to the potatoes during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Delicious Monday night meal! Potatoes were real tasty and the thighs were melt in your mouth delicious!
Out of the 2 rubs on the chicken I personally refer the Tatonka Dust.  My wife really likes the Tatonka Dust
but she likes her chicken to have a more sweet taste.

Thanks for looking!

As good as the chicken looks, I'd be perfectly happy with one or two of those spuds.

Dang, Mike, that looks so good...especially the spuds!

I looked - but could not find - the cook time for the thighs and total cook time for the spuds.  Can you help me out?

Seems like you have that pellet thingy dialed in.

Thanks Jack! Total time was 1.5 hours for the spuds and 45 minutes for the thighs. I take the thighs to 180 and they
are still real juicy. I put the thighs on after the spuds were on the grill for 45 minutes. Yep working on getting it dialed
in now. Love that new digital controller and dang it is accurate!

Great looking cook, Mike. I've always loved thighs, but those taters are the clincher.
