Saturday I got to assemble and run a chimney of charcoal through my 22" MT to burn off all the oils and grease.
Sun I fired it up for its first maiden cook....Grilled portabello's topped with bacon and 3 cheddar cheese,Bacon wrapped corn and I spatchcocked a yard bird.
I gave the bird a 1 hour headstart at 400 degrees indirect.mushrooms and corn added after the one hour and placed directly over the coals......enough rambling.....my pics tell the story and I like Pics.
First off I need to get in the right frame of mind....I have special tools for that.....whiskey,cigars and James Gang. ;D

Wow colour on the bird is great. Did you turn it or just keep meat up the whole cook?
