“LostArrow Loves Lucy” is a long-time member of the Char-Broil LIVE Community Forums and a regular contributor of tips, recipes and general advice on outdoor cooking and smoking. He also happens to have a wonderful dog name of Lucy and in homage to the famous TV show has adopted the unique user name. This past week he shared a story about how he learned to cook. I think it is worthy of passing along here because I pretty-much suspect there are many (me among them) who will be inspired by it. If you are, post your comments on this page (below) or join in the conversation at Char-Broil LIVE. ~ Welcome to the Cookout! Barry CB Martin
This is how I learned to grill/smoke.
This is how I learned to grill/smoke. A fire on 1/2 of cooker, chicken halves on the whole grate, the fire is far enough away on the cooker – about 12 inches on the CB-740 & 940 – to allow you do cook directly over coals for 20 min without burning. The bird is cooked about half the time on indirect & half the time on direct. This result in a chicken that is classic BBQ flavors – both smoked & charred. ~ Lostarrow

What size Turkey is the best for The Big Easy? Thanks, Bev
The Big Easy can hold up to about a 17 pound turkey, but I have found that around 15 is perfect! Thanks for the question Beverly.
