Chicken Roast on the 14.5" WSM
« Reply #-1 on: August 05, 2015, 05:32:54 PM »
Half day at work today.  No better way to spend a 100 degree Texas summer afternoon...  14.5" WSM set up for high heat.  2/3 full charcoal ring with KBB and cherry chunks.  No water pan, drip pan under the roaster to deflect, vents WFO running about 350.


Trying to duplicate how I do turkey in the kamado with a 6 lb chicken in the Weber.  Came out perfect.


Have I ever mentioned how much I hate carving the bird?


Don't judge me.  The sides were an afterthought as I rummaged the pantry.


There may have been some [not pictured] whisky in this glass after the beer was emptied.


Still had heat, and the kids need something for  lunch tomorrow.
