First go with the cowboy lump and some chicken thighs. I only  started with 3/4 chimney, I had to add some to get the heat up to where I like it and to finish off the sear but all in all I was very satisfied with the cowboy's performance and flavor. Thighs came out great! Plated them with some of the leftover beans from Sundays pulled pork.


Burning good and fast

1/2 way in, a few more chunks thrown on

Searing time

The whole team all together

Had to eat the skin on this one, it was just to god damned perfect not to.

I'm a chicken addict, and thighs are an almost weekly cook here. Looks great. I use cowboy a lot too.

Craig, we'd get along just fine. Dark meat bone in chicken rules! At least once a week, the fam enjoys it. I really liked the lump, it burns real hot. I was done in 45 min, pulled at 165 in biggest thigh farthest from heat. Flavor was a bonus as well.

Agreed, chicken in the kettle is amazing. I used to fight the gasser to the point I'd sometimes say fuck it and just bake them. These were some of the best, I'm somewhat a procrastinator so I always run out of time to brine or marinade, I usually just rub my meat and brush on a tiny amount of sauce right at the end before a sear.
