First chook on the LG900

[Kiwi Smoke]

So had the kids and their partners over on Sunday to check out our new grill and did my first chicken cook.
Really tasty, reasonably moist but big fail on the crispy skin front. (Work still to do)

What temp were you smoking at?

It sure looks good!
It is very hard to get good skin in poultry unless you smoke it at higher temps, 325-350.

I agree with Al - high temp smokes needed for crispy chicken or turkey skin.

To crisp the skin using another method, I sometimes toss the poultry in the oven at 425 for about 10-15 minutes.

I started off at a moderate temperature to get some smoke, then turned it up to around 320 for the last hour.
There's a real learning curve that comes with this style of grilling which I'm looking forward to. I'm used to grilling by sight.
Still that's exactly what I signed up for so no complaints and to be fair everyone mentioned that the flavors there, even in the veggies.
