Well I finally took the plunge and tried out the BGE. I found a simple recipe for a butterflieid chicken. Recipe came from someone named Cathy Loup and I want to thank her.
I had two problems with first cook. 1. I had a little trouble keeping the heat where it belonged but I think experience will solve this. 2. The chicken stuck fast to the grill giving me a challenge to turn the chicken to skin side down near the end of the cook. The skin burned and stuck fast to the grill. Most skin came off when chicken was removed. I suspect that I should have sprayed something on the grill prior to setting the bird on it.
The good news is that it was delicious which is testimony to the BGE for giving excellent results in spite of a rank beginner at the controls.
