I prefer a thigh at 185° for full doneness whereas it comes off the bone perfectly and without pink juices running from it.What temp do you finish the dark meat on?
I find anything below 170-175 is or can be pinkish for me.
I even go 10-15 higher than that at times.
I seldom do chicken (the wife does) so I’m not that good on it.
while it's been fun, i don't miss or really like it anymore. i'm looking forward to getting back home to cooking on my WSK.First rule of cooking on gas: never admit to cooking on gas.
Seriously, though, those look pretty tasty to me!
The one good thing about my annual externally-imposed gas BBQ restriction: going back to charcoal in the fall tastes even more awesome.while it's been fun, i don't miss or really like it anymore. i'm looking forward to getting back home to cooking on my WSK.
I can easily see doing sides on a gasser. In addition, some sides are better on coals too. But a gasser makes a good outdoor oven.Looking good Brett, I also prefer charcoal to gas. I have to admit though I do use the E320ng a lot for sides such as bakers and things like that.
My go to now for the two of us is our Jumbo Joe, easy on the coals and clean up.
Thanks for reminding me, I've got a couple of jars of TJs Carolina Gold BBQ sauce in the garage pantry I need to dig out, love the stuff.
Same here Rich. Does the best wings using my mimi-me custom Vortex.My go to now for the two of us is our Jumbo Joe, easy on the coals and clean up.
You should try to incorporate the WSK into an island, similar to the way KJ & BGE do. You would have to figure out how to either suspend in within the counter top or it needs some way to stand alone without a cart. Just a thought....I can easily see doing sides on a gasser. In addition, some sides are better on coals too. But a gasser makes a good outdoor oven.
And the WSK is limited in size for proteins. If you’re doing a jumbo sized cook, I could see a EX6 or competitor handling large loads too.
We all know one grill isn’t enough. That’s why many here have various on deck solutions.
I’d like to dial in my outdoor island. I am glad though that I’ve held off too. It’s allowed me to see more of my choices.
Reminds me of this:I really should do some sort of wiser outdoor kitchen arrangement. Now, that I have the Overperformer, platypus, and after I build the rotisserie carriage, and the windscreen for the WSM, I have a crazy amount of outdoor equipment, I should make an area which is convenient and efficient. I might have to take over a section of my wife’s garden…yeah, like that is likely to happen!
