Plainfie...
Seasoned two family packs of leg quarters and spatchcocked two whole chickens at 11:00.
Wanted to try lump for a hot and fast cook so....
B&B lump charcoal with B&B pecan chucks.
One vent 1/4 open the other two closed with Top vent wide open. No water in the water bowl and it’s wrapped in foil.
Chicken put on at 13:20. No wireless probes with this cook, just using my maverick pro temp; PT-100. Leg quarters on the middle rack and spatchcocked chicken on the top. At 14:22 opened all three vents 1/4 to raise up temp.
 
At two hours in I fully opened the vents and stired the lump. I reached in and took out any remaining wood chicks. Chicken temps = 140
3 hour pics coming
 
Looks great! An upper and lower grate on a 26er, is that normal? Sounds like a cool idea. Is that foil over the coals? All new to me.
 
Lookin good.I be Lovin some leg quarters.Best part of the bird in my honest opinion.
 
Yup, you sealed it for me. I really need to do some chicken on the WSM, been way too long. Might fine cook
 
Easy cleanup today. The foil wrapped bowl is a winner.

I don’t have a scrapper so I just used balled up foil to clean the grill grates. I’ll slowly get what I need again.
