Title: Wings on the 3-Wheeler
Post by: MacEggs on September 15, 2013, 05:44:15 AM
This was my first ever cook on a 3-wheeler ... and, I like it!  :D

Marinated 5 lbs of wings for about 6-7 hours.

I used a basket with some unlit lump, and dumped 20 lit briquettes on that. Apple wood for smoke.
I foiled the remaining area of the charcoal grate.

Closed off 2 vents, and kept 1 fully open ... the one furthest from the charcoal basket for 1½ hours,
then opened everything wide for the last half hour.
After coming off, I applied some Weber "Buzz 'n Honey" BBQ sauce - I like this stuff! A three pack at Costco.

My wife made a weird dip that had avocado in it ... and it was excellent!

The wings were delicious! This now is my go-to method for this amount of wings.

Wings going on ... double-decker style.  :D

I'm a wingaholic if there ever was such a thing. Those look tasty! I love the Weber BBQ sauces.

I do, too! I had to try them when I saw that pack.
And, the ingredient list is not as long as ... your forearm. That's nice.  :D ;)

On a side note.

This cooker actually changed colour when it got hot! It got a deeper black.
Being an "A" code (34 years old), it has a bit of a fade to it ... that changed with heat.  :D 8)

My blue and red 22s might be getting neglected, now.  ::) ;)

Right on Mac! Wings look great, that kettle looks awesome too! 3 wheelers are fun to cook on for me as well. I use a brush to sweep out the ash and fire it back up.

I remember reading that you do that ... so I went out today and picked up a brush for that purpose. Thanks for the tip! Worked great!  :D
