Had a go at some hulli-huli chicken yesterday. It ended up taking over 2 hours. I cooked a tri-tip the day before with the fire in the firebox and it worked great. Tried a similar set up for the chicken but couldn't seem to get the heat into the main cooking area.

This time I tried one of the suggestions and covered the grate closest to the fire box with aluminum foil. Everything worked pretty well. over time I'll be looking into making some other mods to it.

Welcome from Chico, CA. I saw your post on my phone the other day but have been visiting my folks in Merced so I couldn't properly say hello. My big fingers and the small phone keyboard are not conducive to a coherent message!

Most importantly, don't get disheartened with anything. There is always a way to work it out & there is plenty of help to get er done. And , as Doc Breadhead said, wait to your MCS sets in, you will end up being a cooking wonder. Eat good & have fun!

Thanks for the Friendly words everyone!
So, today did a small batch of country ribs w/Memphis Dust and everything worked as it was supposed to. Go figure. The grill came up to temp quickly, stayed reasonably stable, and the meat was done approximately when the recipe said it might be. And I gotta tell ya, that Memphis Dust is excellent!!
