Cook 69 - Blake's First Cook
31st January, 2016 05:40 PM by BBQ Phil
My son has been watching me and vaguely helping out for awhile now and since I got the ProQ, he's been hassling me to do his own cook on the Smokey Joe. So, when we were out grocery shopping, I saw this little chicken and thought, let's do it. So, I got Blake to make the rub and mix it all together. He then applied it to the chicken and we left that to sit overnight.

At 3pm ... man. Bloody firelighters. I'm getting sick of these environmentally friendly ones that just don't burn. Anyway, 20 minutes later, I had a fire going and 20 minutes after that, Blake put the chicken on the Smokey Joe.

It had an internal temperature of 17C. We then went off to play some Flashpoint: Fire and Rescue. We came back at 4:40pm and it was nearly cooked at 72C. At 4:55pm, it was 83C. I had some corn and chopped up potatoes and onion in a tray with olive oil and herbs. At this point, Blake had started to lose interest at this point and then at 5:40pm, the corn and potatoes came off.

Great little meal and cooked by my son. Something he can brag about at school this week.
