Hot and Fast Chicken Recipe from Cooking topics on 14.5

[SteveM.]

Has anyone done Hot and Fast chicken on a 14.5 WSM? I don't know if I should remove water pan or just line with foil. I really would like to see if a different taste is achieved from the drippings hitting the coals and turning to smoke.

A lot of people cook without the water pan to achieve a "high heat" cook. It's ideal if you ask me, I cook my chicken high heat in my 18" a lot

Heres cook some over fire, not sure you could do fire in a 14" but I bet if there's a will, there's a way

I've done HH chicken in my mini and 18.5WSM both without water pans. Really good!

High heat on a 14.5 yesterday for chicken, all vents open, grommet out, hot water in the water pan, started with the therm pinned, finished
at about 320 an hour and a half later. 3/4 chimney and 3 chunks of hickory, fire going about 20 minutes before the chicken went on. This was yesterday for Smoke Day.
Started from frozen. All on the top rack. It worked out very well.
