Cook with drum funnel
Today I cook Chicken thighs with the drum funnel in place. Earlier I had tested temps with the deflector and funnel in place and found they we good. The idea is to load up the grate and still have all the juices go through the fire basket for that sizzle and it will help with clean up as we have a 18 pizza pan under the fire nest. All the chicken seemed to cook at the same speed no matter where the chicken was. You can see in the end photos how the BBQ sauce shows in the funnel how it worked. I tasted a thigh cooked on the edge and one in the middle and no taste difference.
we do flip once during the first part of the cook
We have taken the skin off , dipped the chicken pieces in Plowboys 180 from Big Poppa Smokers
Back on the drum to set the sauce
Finished and in the pan
Picture of the inside of the drum after the cook. You can see how the juices/sauce are funneled into the nest.
