ID:	517793 I am celebrating my first Father's day as a father! So I spatchcocked a couple of whole chickens, dry brined them overnight, them coated in MMD this morning. Got the Weber kettle up to 250ish and got them going just now. My slow and sear is almost doing too good of a job, as I have had trouble getting it up over 300. I am hoping once the coals really get going, my temp will hit 325ish but we will see . Happy father's day to all the dad's and granddad's out there!

    Congrats on your first Father’s Day.
    Maybe add some more lit coals to the SnS to get the temps up.
    Love the copper kettle.

      Hey BBC Happy Fathers Day to you and your family. Love that kettle. Is that a chip I spy on the lid rim? Like steve said. Add some coals if you need to and carefully give them a stir and remove your ash if need be. Don't be afraid to open her up!

      I have a bird myself I'll be doing after adding coals so I'm right there with you.

        Congrats on being a Dad. Now the fun really begins.

        How much charcoal did you Light? I use a whole chimney of lit coals for chicken. That should get you somewhere north of 350*, and that helps with crisping the skin.

          Hey thanks for the tips guys .I opened up the vents all the way for about 15 mins and that got everything going. I'm holding nice and steady at 310 as I post this.

            Let her rip a bit more. You want 325-350* for sure.
            That’ll help give you a crisper skin. I try to run 375+ with chickens

                    Way to to Dad! Won't be long now before you start fighting over the drum sticks. (P.s. you'll win for a while) 😃
