Okay a virgin to this am I!
I wanted to try two spatchcock chickens and a slab of spare ribs. I began them abour 1pm (eastern). I put the chickens on top and the ribs on the bottom. I have a waterpan with some apples in it. I lit some Kingsford in a chimeny and added some hot coals over some unlit coals. Once the temp reached >275 I added the hot water and the meat. I have the top Vent open and will keep it that way. I have had the bottom vents open 100% and the temp will not get above 230. Am I doing something wrong? I have read so much about it getting too hot. The meat went on at 2pm. I turned it at 4pm and sprayed it with apple juice. Should I expect to check the temp of the meats around 6pm?
I am so excited!
I love being an AMERICAN!
Any advice would be great.
