Needed to try the snake, what better than the impossible to kill skin on thigh. I started with 8 chicken thighs, marinated 4 hours. Got the grill started for a 1/4 snake with chips. I want chunks now that ive been around here a while and see the light, but I have a bag of chips that needs to be used. Started the snake with 12 coals and so far so good.

Marinade was basically olive oil and Worcestershire, then some brown sugar, a ton of fresh garlic, a little fresh ginger, apple cider vinegar and a chili powder spice blend I make.


I love these stainless steal pans. Smart and final $8 is a steal, I've used it countless times with and without water. Tonight no water. It's way better than constantly dealing with foil.

Coals are getting ready, time to sip a cold one.

Getting the heat on

See the smoke? It's gonna be good!

We're on!

Who do I believe!!!! Not bad, both close to 250, since its thighs and I have the time ima let it go. Next time both ends to get more heat. Like my chicken closer to 1 hour, juicier that way.


Just over 250

Just under 250

Right on James! If you want hotter temps stack more coals maybe a 2x2x1 combo will bring it up a but higher. It's very worry free huh?

It was very easy, I found when I rotated my lid 180 I got a little more heat. I want to do a long cook next, ribs or a butt.

I've done a snake once (ribs) and it worked very well!  I'm a believer.
Your marinade sounds like a good one.  Good lookin chicken.
LOVE the Genesis 2000  and the Weber grill logo on the LP tank ;D
After I smoke chicken parts I dump the coal baskets into the middle, spread the coals, and grill w/ skin side down until skin is crispy.  Virtually impossible to do with a snake method, but you could do one that way ---- the one for the chef.  lol
I've always had gas...  And now a bunch of kettles because of this place.  Thanks!
