Newbie splatchcock chicken...first cook

[GASMAN]

Getting settled in with new grill...did the burn in yesterday... so i made some splatchcocked chickens...some smoked baked beans...and after decided to not waste the heat and make some sourdough bread

I have a baking stone still in box and just used cast iron lid  without adding steam 

I was very happy with chicken and beans but not with the bread so much....my technique needs some modifications

Here is bread done in my oven

Nice color on that chicken. The whole meal looks fantastic. Any smoking wood?

[GASMAN]

I used the coffee char and chunk ...need to adequately heat soak grill before adding chunk...live and learn...tasted great though thanks

[GASMAN]

Here is the bread cut...nice crust and interior...just not enough oven spring...not yet asthetically pleasing but it eats real good...temp and humidity...we will get it

You will have lots of time to experiment and you will be able to eat each one of them.:)

Bread tastes too smoky for me as well...bought plenty of the extruded coconut so i will try that next time for baking a few loaves and then some pizzas

Yes, pure coco char will be better for your baking. Almost no flavor. 

Chickens look great. What's the rub on them?
