1st Chicken in UDS

[rdknb]

1st chicken in UDS. I was pleased with the temp control and the overall outcome.

7 12 lbs roaster,
injected with cranberry and pomenade sugar free juice, butter mixed with rub under skin and evoo/rub on skin.
Placed in fridge for 4 hours.
275ish temp for 3 hrs then 300 for 1/2 HR. Cooked till 165 in breast, 175 in thigh.

Very moist and good smoke flavor, although next time I will go to 170 on breast (personal preference).

Looks great!
I can see the juice squirting out when you make that first cut!

Looks really good! I love my UDS. I like using a diffuser over my firebox when cooking fatty meats. It helps keep the flames down and temp management is so easy. Made mine out of a big-box store pizza pan.
