I like the beer can stance. it looks like it's just sittn around taking it easy.

I'll be doing a chicken this evening but time is my enemy. I will spatchcock (cut the back bone out and flatten it out) this one because it only takes it about 1.5 hours to get to 175 internal. Because I want to make chicken soup I'll put the back bone on the BGE too and add it to the stock pot to get all the good essence out of it.

Waa Hoo

Gonna fes up, had the epic fail, went for the low and slow, trying for the color, got it, but not the temp,, Liz had to be ready for work at 3 this morning, had to do the oven rush, it was juicy enough, but a fail, first time in quite a while,,
humble pie for dessert, plus Nathan kicked my rear in darts, again,

If you all enjoyed the meal it wasn't a failure, you just had to take a different route to success.
