I smoked two BCC's tonight on a tight schedule. I should know by now not to plan BBQ around a tight schedule.
All started well. Two chickens went on at 5:00 ( right on time). I don't mess around with chicken so I ran the temps between 275 and 290 for three hours.
The UDS did not want to maintain higher temps. This is good for butts but bad for chickens.
I only started with 1/2 of a wsm ring full of lump and two hickory chunks. The chickens broke 140 right on schedule but then they stuck at 155 for atleast 45 min. The temps kept wanting to fall to 255-260. I finally opened the vents all the way and the temps still would not go above 270.
I finally decided to finish in the oven. Once the chickens were off the uds temps went straight up to 310. It is empty now and holding 275.
What up ?
