Yep, love finding deals, especially when you're not looking for them.  In my area we don't often get the same deals I see folks post, like whole chickens for 29 cents a pound.  Regular prices are in the $2.29/lb to $2.99/lb neighborhood.  Normally the cheapest I see is $1.69/lb, and occasionally $1.29/lb.  Even at that price, it is still cheap protein. 

Last weekend I was cruising through a nearby supermarket where I rarely shop any more and they had Foster Farms Whole Chickens for 99 cents a pound.  I picked up two because that's all I had room for in the freezer. 
 
I used kosher salt n pepper under the skin.. spread it out to the thighs too.. the dressing has oil in it.. should be ok.. I'm at 259 on the grate right now 15 minutes in after loading the ECB. Gonna go shut some vents down...
. 264 and down to 259 in 1 minute lol

I just saw that post.. yep. Usually the .99 cents a lb porkbutts I will miss out on because my freezer is full.
Next time I will toss out bread or buns in freezer to make room. [emoji]129299[/emoji]

Anyway, the pork here is for tonight.. the chicken I just thought I would cook for the next couple days. Have some sandwiches or make chicken salad or something.. it's got some hickory chunks with the regular Kroger charcoal.

The ECB settles in at 235 - 240 range every time I use it. It takes 15 to 20 minutes after the food is on. Stays there for however long I need it to. I fill up the pan with a minion and it's 15 hours. Half pan 8 hours. Thing works good.

I learned all this stuff here mostly. Lol everyone else's years of posts. Thanks old poster children ! [emoji]128514[/emoji]
 
Looking good!

The thicker parts of the pork were the best.. juiciest.. I could have removed at 140 instead of letting it go another 15 min. But it was all good. Not dry or tough. [emoji]128077[/emoji] Guess I could go stick a probe in my chicken. [emoji]129300[/emoji]
