First Spatchcock Yardbird on BGE

[hurricanedavid]

After a little research on BBQ Breathern I decided to try some yardbirds on my new Large BGE. I set up the BGE using a Woo and cast iron grate. I'm guessing the cook took about 1+ hours. More details listed below:

Fuel: Red Oak Lump
Yardbird size: 4lbs
Seasoning: Spiceologist Margarita
Cook temp: 360 F
Target Temp: Breast 180F

Following are a few pictures to illustrate the event.....

The breasts hit approximately 180F in about 1+ hours

One of the yardbirds did have dark skin but did not taste burned. The final result was juicy and taste chicken.

With all the wires looks a little like resuscitation ... nice looking bird though!

Since you mentioned it, it did look a bit like open heart surgery, I guess too many gagets but that adds to the fun factor....
