This month, I had the privilege of grilling at Shawnee Structures for their Open House. In one day we grilled 120 pounds of chicken legs and thighs on my (tiny) BBQ26S Chicken Cooker and 50 burgers on a second charcoal grill.

The Open House was on Friday and Saturday, but I was only available to cook on Friday, so they asked me to grill chicken for Saturday too. I had planned to cook only 90 pounds but since the chicken comes in 40 pound cases, I had gotten 120 pounds. The customer asked if I’d grill the extra meat for them, so I stayed a couple hours longer to grill the rest of it.

The BBQ26S holds around 15 pounds of chicken, so it took 8 batches to crank through 120 pounds of meat. I arrived on-site around 10:30 am, got the grill hot soon after 11:00, and the first batch of chicken done by 12:10. Batch 8 went on the grill at 7:15 and finished sometime after 8:00 pm. I certainly got my daily fill of smoke and sizzle that day!

Meadow Creek’s Chicken Cookers, those grills with rotating sandwich grates, take barbecue fund-raising and backyard grilling to a whole new level. Double-sided rotating grates make it easy to turn the entire rack of meat with one hand. The stainless steel grates never rust and are easy to maintain, for many long years of use.

In addition to their ability to grill amazing bone-in chicken parts, these grills are perfect for many other foods too. So really, the name “chicken cookers” can be a bit deceiving. How many people have ignored these whizbang grills because of their name?

In this article, I will show you how great the chicken cookers are for grilling in general and a sweet list of upgrades you might want to consider for expanding the usefulness of your new Meadow Creek chicken cooker. (more…)

Meadow Creek is not for everyone.

So, what’s the point?

Well, two things. First, if you are not a good fit to play around with a Meadow Creek smoker or grill and end up buying one, I’d consider that a mistake, not to mention how poorly you might brag to your friends about Meadow Creek. LOL

Second, my goal is to help searching souls connect with the object of their dreams and expand the vibrant “community” of Meadow Creek fans scattered across the USA. Some of them don’t even know about Meadow Creek yet or perhaps they still have a smoky idea of what they’re looking for.

Meadow Creek is for people who like to play with fire. Gas and electric are fine ways of cooking, but as a rule, it’s what you use when you need a push button performance. Cooking with wood or charcoal is a different style of cooking—in fact, it’s a culture of its own. (more…)
