22 1/2 chicken cook

[Ron Wiley]

I am planning to splatchcock a chicken and cook it on the lower grate 'without a water pan and with a reduced number of charcoals. I will shoot for a grate temp of 350* (with the lid on).
My hope is to get a crisp skin similar to grilling with smoke from fat drippings in the fire.
Anybody see a problem with this, or have tried it before?
Thanks.

Done it many times on my 18. It will work just fine.

I grilled a cut chicken last week on my weber kettle and threw in a couple of wood chunks. Temp on the dome was 400. Bird was good. Nice color and lite smoke flavor...
