Wings on a Weber Performer

[MacEggs]

This was my first time trialling a charcoal basket that I had recently fabricated.
My intention for it was primarily for high-heat cook-ups.

I dumped a full-sized Weber chimney of lit lump charcoal.




4.5 lbs of wings went on. Intakes fully open.




After 30 minutes.




I wanted to start cycling the wings into the center after 30 minutes.
But, I didn't do it until after 45 minutes, as I was chatting with my neighbour.




Just when the wings were ready to come off after 1 hour, the temperature gauge had bottomed out.










These wings turned out to be fantastic!
No mushy or soggy skin. A nice crispness to the skin, and the wings were not overdone.

Looks like the basket worked very well. Those wings look great. Good Job.
