This was my cook yesterday. Yard bird and then some burgers.
I used my vertical cabinet burning pure wood. I know the grills gone wild throw down says no smokers. But a majority of my cookers are grills, smokers and cooking with pure wood. So what the heck. :boxing:
I grilled/roasted (depending on your view) 2 chickens cut in half. Cooking mostly around 350* burning wood splits till they reached internal temps above 180*.
Then I lowered the cooking grate closer to the fire. Put 4 burgers on. After a couple minutes, I flipped the burgers and lowered the grate all the way down and threw in a couple more splits to direct fire kiss the burgers.
Fun day burning wood splits.
Thanks for lookin!

I follow the same lines of thought on cooking dark meat chicken.. take them above 190F usually. I find that doing this helps render out a lot of the fat that would still be sitting in the dark meat if only cooked to 165ish, the texture just seems better and I don't feel like I'm eating a grease bomb. Everything looks mighty fine! I hope the white meat survived :)

The white meat is tender and juicy. Or I wouldn't cook like this.
 
Live fire wood cooking is hard to Master.Once Mastered,it cannot be beaten for flavor.Drop mike,exit stage left.I got em all.Webers,BGE's etc.,etc., Live fire coals rules as far as flavor.This statement is my own humble opinion. :thumb:
