Whole Chicken with Campfire Potatoes

Spatchcocked a chicken and embraced the fall weather. At the same time that I was cooking chicken on the kettle, my wife was putting together an amazing beef stew!

Spatchcocked and covered in McCormicks Montreal Chicken. The chicken marinated overnight in Italian Dressing. I planned on a brine of salt and brown sugar, but had to work on saturday night, and didnt have time. Cooked for 2 hours around 270 with a few small chunks of cherry wood. The skin turned out LOOKING beautiful, but was not crispy. Too tough. Think I shoulda gone half hour then direct to get a crisp. The potatoes and onions were delicious and so easy.

Found out Yuengling has a porter, and thought it was perfect for the weather. Built a fire with my 2 year olds "help". Gonna be enjoying this delicious beef stew over the next few days. Thanks for looking.
 
Luke the bird and the stew look great, I hear you about the skin that has happened to me too. That's why I only do birds at higher heat now, at least 325. Both on the grill and in the smoker. No more rubber skin problems and the CEO is much happier too.
 
Looks good. How's the Porter? Didn't know they made it either.

The porter is pretty good. Not as good as our first pick, which is Sierra Nevada Porter. For $6.29/6 pack, it's pretty tough to beat.

Thanks to many for the encouraging words and advice. Getting put up as a Pic of the Week is awesome! To be recognized in any way among such company is very flattering.
