I'm counting this as my inaugural cook on the Green Mountain Grill--Daniel Boone, although I did grill some frozen Costco turkey burgers a few days ago. Those were quick and, while good, didn't really involve much effort.
Here we have the bag-o-wings from Costco, rubbed with a BBQ Pit Boys chicken rub recipe. That in itself, was pretty good. It's on their website, in case anyone is interested.
I ran the GMG at 240° until the IT was 165°. Then layered with my own bbq sauce, and cranked up the heat to 350°.
Finished with an IT of 175°. The wings were cooked thru, crispy, and not overdone at this temp.
Plated, with the one unsauced wing. I wanted to try the unadulterated rub. Like I said, the wing was pretty good even without the sauce. (I don't know what it is about the indoor lighting in my house that seems to rob all the color out of my phone pics!)
So, pretty good marks all around for the GMG. It heats up and cools down much quicker than my charcoal Weber. The whole process was quick and easy. The smoke taste was not hugely pronounced, but I was using alder pellets, and that could have been a contributing factor. I didn't test for hot/cool spots this time (the wings all seemed to come out evenly), but probably will when I start getting more used to it.
I'm very happy so far with the GMG.
