TASK (Cooking a roaster chicken then 30+ buffalo wings.)
The priority was bringing a friend the chicken and a few hours later try making buffalo wings for the first time. Typically to do one chicken, a half basket of coals is sufficient. Not this time. I needed this to last longer than 3 hours and be running hot. So full basket.
TECH-GASM (It's a thing where technology works better than you thought it would)
I used one rebar (why make the fan work harder than it needs to/drain battery) and set the temps on the Fireboard that it stays at 330 until the roaster chicken hits 130, then it cranks the temp up to 430 until the chicken reaches 160. Worked great as usual (1 hour and 20 minutes-ish). However after the chicken was done, I wanted to put the PBC into hibernation. So rebars are both in and I have the coals stay at 290.
2.5-3hrs later we are wrapping up visiting with friend. I grab my phone and tell the Fireboard to crank the temps up. By the time I got home, I could throw the wings on the PBC immediately and cook for another 45 minutes.
QUESTION
So when cooking buffalo wings do you keep the rebars out? And cook for 45 minutes on the grate with maybe flipping halfway through? Or go the PBC cooker website style (video not the messed up written recipe) and do 35 minutes, flip wait 5 minutes, flip again wait 5 minutes with top cracked?
