Welcome from North Carolina. I used to live in Herndon until I retired. Moved further south. Less traffic and the DC BS. You will love this site. Great people with a lot of ideas on cooking outside. You will learn a lot here.

Thanks! The upside of being in the DC area is that it takes less fuel. The hot air coming out of the politicians in DC helps to naturally cook the food.
Check, Glad you made it over here. As far as the chicken quarters go, I've done the same thing before. Sometimes it's hard to get the temp probe down next to the bone which is the last place to get done. Thank goodness with IR cooking you can over cook and still get juicy meat. Next time just take it to a higher temp. Your cooks are really ambitious and you're gonna do well. Just keep a log to help you keep up with what went well and what needs improvement. And sometimes it helps to have a big dog to feed the "mistakes" to. Look forward to hearing more from you. Dee
Dee, you just solved a multi-year mystery that my wife and I have had. We always heard put the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat but don't touch the bone. But with chicken, the important part is right next to the bone, not in the thickest part. You just changed my chicken cooking life. We've been clueless for way too long. Thank you.

It's my first time writing computer code but I think it says Welcome from Manitoba, Canada
Please ensure you add yourself to the map
Very nice code. That actually translates to "Shall we play a game".
I added myself to the map before I posted. Very nice site feature.
One thing to keep in mind - no matter how your cooks go, please share them - we all enjoy learning from what works and what doesn't.
"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

You got it. That's actually one of the main reasons I'm excited about this place. I can post my
mistakes failures learning opportunities and get advice on what to adjust.
The other thing to remember - post pictures - most of us can't read, so we like looking at pictures.
Have fun and welcome!
David
Will do.
Thanks again to all the quoted and not quoted welcome messages. You've got me psyched to try another cook soon so I can post the results.
Is there any particular place on the forums here where people simply post what they did and how it went? Good or bad?
Thanks again for the warm welcome!
