I'm grilling chicken drumsticks on my 22" Original Kettle Premium for the first time tonight. I'm planning on using CHAR-BASKETS with approximately 25 briquettes in each basket. The grilling guide in the manual suggests 6 to 10 minutes direct low heat followed by 30 minutes indirect medium heat.
I'm planning to put the CHAR-BASKETS in the middle of the grill with the top and bottom vents half open. I'll grill the drumsticks over direct heat in that configuration for approximately 3 minutes per side, then I'll move the CHAR-BASKETS to the sides, open the top vent fully, and cook the drumsticks over indirect heat for 15 minutes. I'll check the temperature of the meat, flip the drumsticks over, and planning on giving them another 15 minutes of indirect heat.
Sound reasonable? Any obvious rookie mistakes I'm about to make?
