Best D@mn Chicken Cooker on the Market!?

[Curt.P]

I'm able to consistently make terrible chicken on my gasser, charcoal and pellet grills. Really is quite a talent...

Ok, now I want one of these...

@Moose - I have used your wing rub with great success. You would crush it with the MC42! I cooked on my brother’s one for couple of years and then finally got my own.

Weber Kettle w/ vortex

Can you still fit a 1/2 pan for doing comp thighs with the vortex offset? Is there enough room? I suppose you wouldn't want the heat of that thing anywhere under your pan.

Probably not, but that's also probably not the way I'd be trying to cook competition chicken thighs either.

I loved rotisserie chicken on my Lynx gasser but I haven't used it since I got my PG1000.

Oh, is the butter bath not cool anymore? maybe i'm on old procedures.

No, the Vortex. There's no point in using it unless you are cooking with high indirect radiant heat. Great for "eating" barbecue, probably not what you're after for "competition" barbecue. Putting it in a foil pan and having the Vortex anywhere but the center of the grill negates any benefit it provides, IMO. You'd probably be better off just banking the coals off to one side and cooking in the pan, then rotating the pan 180* halfway through the cook or something like that, if you wanted to do comp thighs in a pan on a kettle.
