Here is my first live run: Finished product: So this is my first attempt at wings. Few things i learned: Fully dry the wings before coating with oil and rub Full wings are a pain in the ***, so I will either trim them or buy them as drumettes and sections. Saucing the wings after cooking...

no basket, just a second charcoal grate rotated 90 to hold the coals for as long as possible. I bought a 1qt paint can to use for ash control but it didnt seem to need it at all with the dry run. Running it wide open might have something to do with that. I might do a second dry run tomorrow...

Its up to 340 right now with about half the coals left Looks like i can get this hot enough to crisp up some skin on chickens.

so it seems to be hovering at 300 wide open after a few hours I like to do chicken so i wanted to see what it would go up to and for how long.

Here is the outside: And the inside. It is sitting at ~200 right now fully open but its only been going for an hour or so. Might need to light more bricks next time.
