Title: Chicken breasts cooked with my chimney
Post by: N. Ontario Smoker on August 14, 2017, 09:51:19 PM

I used my 3/4 full chimney as the heat source. Most chimneys will fit in the Akorn hole.

Temp can get up to 600 degrees with only the chimney.

Cooking with a piece of cherry wood for flavor and color.

All done and ready for plating.

A cold lettuce wedge with 3 cheese dressing and a perfectly cooked breast.

Another great reason to be a part of this forum....

Creative ideas from people thinking "outside the box".

B T W, how long did you cook these birds?

Thanks for the PM...I used the chimney method this afternoon when I cooked 4 chicken thighs.  I knew it would take only about 15 to 20 minutes, so I used only half a chimney of KB - could have used even less.  Got the temp to hold at 350 and it worked great.  At the end, I put the thighs over the chimney for nice crispy skin.
Will definitely be using this method again.

Use this method for chicken wings. Put a couple of rows around the outer edge as that is where the heat comes down. Nice and crispy and no flare-ups.
