I grabbed a Gen 1 performer off of CL for a steal of $60. I recently got a batch of rub from my favorite place in Nashville, Peg Leg Porkers. Sounds like its time to cook way more chicken than I can eat! Gave them a good dusting them cooked indirect for about 2 hours with hickory and apple. Cooked direct for a few to crisp them up then added a little sauce to the legs and wing sauce to the wings. Left the thighs dry. Another 10 mins to set the sauce and I ate until I couldn't move! Now I have lunch chicken for the week!

That looks awesome! That's how I make my chicken too, I use pecan, but indirect then direct to finish.

You broke it in right!

Did you wear a mask when you got that Performer?

At least you got a blue one like mine.

Thanks guys. Its actually green. The blue lid you see in the pic was thrown into the deal for free. Not sure why but I wasnt going to pass up a free lid! Did the lid on the older performers not have the hook inside to hang?

That's a beauty of a cook. Lots of similarities. I just rescued a green SS Performer EI Vent Code last month and yesterday cooked up some drummies.

They didn’t suck.
