Thanks, I owe it all to my equipment
PBC & new Thermoworks Smoke are the best and easiest way to get great results

Good equipment certainly helps, but it was YOU made this cook happen.

Interesting, I always thought the hanger went on the other end of the chicken, i.e. legs up in the PBC. Do you find you have better results in this configuration?

Yes, I have done both ways, I like the breast up away from the coals, wings also do not overcook, 165 on the thighs and breast is perfect

Sure would make it easier to spot check for temp to make sure you get up to 165. Thanks for the tip!
