That is quite a diverse weekly menu. Very interesting combinations. Sometimes it is hard for me to decide "what to cook tonight".  I have some picky eaters to deal with.

Here's tonight's meal. Applewood smoked pork chops and rosemary potatoes. The pork chops are cooked indirect, but the charcoal baskets are moved in closer. Only 8" between the baskets to really get the CI sear plate hot.

Thank you all.   I have the luxury of being retired.  I remember how hard it was to find time to Q when I was working. Just trying to inspire.  I have to thank @1buckie for his post a while back of his cooking a Papa Murphy's pizza on his kettle.  Never would have thought about trying it had it not been for that post. Now if I can just remember to take pictures tomorrow of the chicken cook.  I have friends coming for dinner and I will be imbibing.

It is an organic whole chicken from Whole Foods. Nothing on the skin but dry poultry rub from Dean & Deluca. No need for butter or olive oil. I also use my hand to get under the skin, pulling it loose from the chicken. Then I am able to put a bunch of the rub between the skin and the breast, thigh and leg. A little bit of the rub goes on the outside of the skin. Takes a little time but it infuses the meat with the spices so much better than just sprinkling it on the skin.

Tremendous cookups right there!!!!

@Cellar2ful

The pizza's kinda fun & different, eh what?

@ryno5000  You can put all kinds of stuff under poultry skin to get better infused flavor to the bird....like lemon chicken.....

For some reason, I was thinking the plate that Papa Murphy's pizza comes on would catch fire in a kettle. Once I saw your post it gave me the courage to try one on my kettle.  Don't think we will ever cook one in an oven again.  Next time I am thinking of putting it on my pre-heated  pizza stone, opposed to cooking it on the grate as I did in the above photo.  The crust was perfect on the outer edges but not quite done on the interior.  Either that or putting a ring of 4 or 5 lit briquettes directly beneath the pizza.   Hope you can make it to the picnic next Saturday. I would like to meet the legend in person.

lol - Marilyn Monroe chicken!

Mine came out about the same....just a tad chewy right at the center.....a few more coals under the middle....

I think if you get too hot, the paper plate will burn.....425f is, I believe, the recommended oven temp & I was at around 550~600 & it began to singe the edges a bit....careful!!!!

You can tell that @1buckie has an infatuation with breast..errr chicken breasts..
Personally, Im a leg and thigh man..
and Jim, @LiquidOcelot , that retirement thing is inspiring.. miles to go..
