Perfect weather today for wine tasting. Did you get their pizza or burger? We have to get there and reload a case of white Barbera. We’re about out of it. It makes a great summer wine.We skipped dinner. Had a late lunch at the villa toscano bistro, but this made my mouth water.
Brett - how did you set the fire up on your E6? Charcoal on the bottom with diffuser plate installed or charcoal grate in top position with Weber's charcoal baskets on both sides w/chicken in the middle?SPOG and a few dashes of hot chili powder.
Salt went on first, then layered the rest. Sat dry brining on counter for 90 mins.
Indirect on the E6, JDXL, and kept at 400°F the whole cook for a nice crispy skin. One of the halves reached temp 8 mins before the other (one with backbone took longer) with a pull temp of 155°F and rested lightly tented for 10 mins before slicing.
Gravy has shiitake powder in it which I added into the roux along with thyme. Slow cooked and reduced gravy for one hour.
Pure comfort food. Hit the mark.
I have done the runway method, cb’s split into left and right sides in the past but this cook, and many of my cooks like this are cb’s on the topmost coal deck, in a circle shape, positioned at the hinge side of the E6.Brett - how did you set the fire up on your E6?

Juicy and d flavorful. I was really excited for the gravy. That ground shiitake powder made it next level. Just used dried shiitakes I have from Ranch99 and ground them in the spice grinder. Instant umami flavor.That's a most worthy birdy cook
