I have GOT to get on this and do something other than chickens on mine!
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

There is defiantly a learning curve.. Had to rotate the ring and have the motor front to back. Originally
Side to side. .. This counter wait was hitting the handle..
But it was all good

Hi Lemans,

Did you cook with the lid off or on.  I seem to have conflicting information.  The two times I have done chickens they were very dark (on the verge of being burnt).  In both situations I had the lid on.  I did see a video on line where the guy recommend no lid and believes everyone using the lid is wrong.  Just curious as to what the general consensus around here is.
Thanks.

I've been doing the same thing, and have been wondering the same thing you have been.  I've been using the lid mostly due to time constraints.  I'm thinking that if I have the time to do a chicken with the lid off it will be amazing.  And who knows, it might not even take that much more time.

@MrHoss did a cook-up with the lid off.  He might have some more info to add.

I did my eye round with the lid on.. It cooked really fast like an hour and a half to fit the IT of 135
 The grill was sitting at like 300 .. But I watched it closely and check temp every 20 mins.  It was my
First try so I didn't want to mess it up.but it came out great .  I used salt pepper and garlic
  The drip pan had beef stock that combined with the drippings as a wonderful au jui
