Hello,
I'm new here, Denver guy and recent owner of a Model 2 unit, have done a couple briskets and the Best BBQ beans on the planet thus far (
look it up, they are).
The guide is great, but my question is one of
addition -- I need to do two 3.7lb whole chickens
and two ~4lb racks of baby backs.
Is there a quasi-time-formula for lbs o' meat? Do you pretty much go by 1.5 hours per lb and watch your internal temps?
I have thermometers, I *
get* that, but the problem is the WIFE wants to know what time we will be eating, so need to make sure I allow enough time.
This will be my first
entertaining gig with the new box, if we cannot eat until midnight, I'm getting the stink eye!
I will have about 15 lbs of food in the box [2 birds, 2 baby back slabs], so hoping for some ballpark guidance on what to plan for.
- all at same time? or ribs in first?
- birds above or below the ribs?
- etc.?
My guess would be ribs up top and an hour or two before the birds, but...??
Any insight is much appreciated!
Thanks!
-Bill
