![]() ![]() This would be the temperature when it’s done cooking - when you’ve cooked meat, you’re usually instructed to take it off the heat a bit before that point, as the meat continues to rise a few degrees in doneness as it rests. My guides for meat say to cook until it’s at 165-180 degrees in the thigh or a deep part of the breast. The heat circulates, but it also rises so that’s where the discrepancy comes from. The top and hotter side of the grill is on the right side (you can even see some smoke headed out the smokestack if you look close enough) and the temperature gauge I installed on the top of the grill read 375 degrees. The grill allows me to set a temperature, and I use 325 degrees. This combo is apple, oak and hickory, if I remember correctly. Except Mesquite, which is rather smokey and that should be used for meats like beef and sausages. I use a blend of woods that they sell at Costco, but any wood will probably get you a good flavor. The wood-fired pellet grill I have is 17 years old, made by Traeger, and I don’t worry much about what type of wood I use. One more point - a can can be rather tipsy, so be careful moving and placing one on a grill. If you’re using a beer can, don’t bother. I do recommend if you’re using something you will use again, spray it with a non-stick spray. If you’re using a can, you do the same thing with the can as you do with the stand. ![]() The beer inside is fine, but heating a beer can on a grill can cause paint flakes, metal shavings and various other things to potentially be added and I am not fond of those. It can (heh) be made using an actual beer can and a chicken (the original meaning of the name), but I’ve improved the experience because beer cans might have some additional things that wouldn’t be good to consume. Those interested in politics might find the offerings rather thin this time around.Ī Beer Can Chicken is a recipe I’ve made a number of times. All those interested in cooking on a wood-fired grill can continue reading and enjoy. ![]() This Colorado State Open Thread is focused more on my activity from yesterday. This Colorado State Open Thread is not going to prattle on about all the stupidity of what she’s been doing over the last couple of weeks (there’s more than just the issue of the theater). That would be an insult to a bird that feeds much of the world. I am not, repeat NOT, calling Representative Boebert a chicken. ![]()
