I just couldn't help myself. I pulled the trigger on this stacker. I'm quite impressed with the way this stacker sits in the kettle. There were only a couple items needed to be assembled. So I wasted no time in giving this big boy a trial run.
FedEx dropped the Stacker off this afternoon so I needed something quick to cook. So I decided on some BBQ leg quarters. So I loaded the kettle with a full chimney of hot coals. Dropped in a couple pecan chunks for a little smoke flavor and then the chicken on the top grate.
What I really love about cooking chicken on this is that I can burn hot and not worry about burning the meat. I used a temp probe in several locations on the grate and found very little temperature variations. I maintained a temp at around 300 for 45 minutes. NOTE: It is good to take a Brillo pad and clean your temperature probe periodically to remove the soot build up so your temp reading is more accurate.
At 45 minutes into the cook, you can see the skin getting brown, crispy and pulling away from the meat and ready to be turned.
As you can see how the bottom of the chicken cooks very evenly and no burnt marks.
Now it's time to put the sauce and not having to worry about flare ups since the food is far away from the fire.
I'm already impressed with the Smoke EZ and haven't done a low and slow cook. This thing is versatile! I give this an early [emoji1360][emoji1360][emoji1360][emoji1360][emoji1360]
