Yesterday I used my Turkey Hangers for the first time with two whole chickens. The weight for both birds was 12.58 lbs.
I used my small weber chimney starter which holds about 40 briquets and let it go for about 20 minutes before dumping the coals on the unlit in the basket.
I had rubbed the chickens down with olive oil and then put the pit barrel all purpose rub on them. I then put them in the PBC and didn't check on them for two hours. This is when I discovered that my Charcoal was probably damp because only about half of the briquets were lit. The chickens didn't get done until about two hours later for a total cook time of about four hours.
The chicken still turned out good and had good flavor. For those of you who have cooked whole chickens using the turkey hanger, what has been the average cook time?
I also got to use my new ash catcher which worked out great. Here are some pictures of the chicken.
