Weber Summit Kamado Maiden Voyage (Chicken Thighs)

[Josh H]

I completed a burn in on the WSK this afternoon. I thought I had some wings available, but only had chicken thighs. These turned out great, along with some Brussels sprouts and Mac & cheese.

Chicken thighs were probably the best I’ve made. Used some Kinder’s Founder’s Reserve Gold Label to sauce them up. Threw a chunk of apple wood on the vortex for smoke.

Heat kind of got away from me at first, but I was able to get it back down without dirty smoke on the chicken. Cheers!

Soon you’ll wrap each sprout in bacon and cook them on the WSK. Enjoy your new cooker.

It’s the best grill Weber has ever made.

Absolutely! Pretty simple cook on the thighs here. Ran the WSK between 300-400, lol. I’ll be honest, the temps got away from as I was learning on the first cook.

I used FOGO lump and some apple wood chunks. I sauced with Kinders Founder’s Reserve at about 165 IT. Took them up to 180 IT to finish it off.

You went with a vortex?

I’ve used a vortex in my performer and was blown away how hot it got.
Almost melted my plastic vent handle.

Yeah, I melted the handle off my 22 with the vortex last year.

I was running minimum coals leftover from the burn in. I opened up the vents and it still got away from me a bit.
