Truth be told...I always prided myself on not using any kind of probe.

But eventually I tried it, like everyone eventually does.

At first I felt uncomfortable about it, like it was wrong. But the more I did it, the better I felt about it.

It always worked so well...turns out, it was exactly what I needed.

Now I do it all the time.

Looks delicious. FWIW, it apparently now takes longer to wait in line at Franklin BBQ than it takes to smoke your own.

I am grilling chicken halves tonight. Will baked potatoes work on the grill? Wrap them in foil? I don't usually wrap them for the oven.

**~mikey b** · 07-21-2019, 04:16 PM

Put some weak sauce on them

Yes they will, but they will take longer than the chicken, unless you parboil or nuke them first. Also, in foil, they will steam and will have soft skin.

Chicken halves took longer. Used foil. They came out good. My family doesn't eat the skins. And I don't eat potatoes right now.

Ok. I call BS...or a clarification. When I’m thinking baked potato, I’m thinking big ass russet. No way that takes less time than a split chicken, unless you’re doing the chicken off the fire and the spuds on, which makes no sense.

**riser4** · 07-21-2019, 07:13 PM

Russets are gross. Medium to small yellow potatoes. Chicken was indirect grilled, took about 1.5 hours.

**irul&ublo** · 07-21-2019, 07:18 PM

Hour and a half for chicken half is majorly indirect. And Russets, aren’t gross, properly oiled salted and roasted, you will have dried crispy skin, and toothsome goodness inside. Butter, kosher salt and med grind pepper only.

If you don’t like that, you are a troglodyte.

Taters is fucking awesome no matter what. The Russett has its time and its place. As all taters do.

**riser4** · 07-21-2019, 07:37 PM

Russets are gross. Especially baked. They are bitter, and mealy.

I don't know about all that, but if I am having a baked potatoe I want a Yukon Gold.

If you can’t figure out how to cook chicken and potatoes without help here then....

Generally but a high quality, fresh, organically grown russet is pretty good.

Because you kooks are sometimes fun to talk to. And every now and then have a good idea. Forgive me for asking to see if someone had some truly good suggestion. I've grilled all kinds of potatoes. Just never a whole one bigger than a quarter (grilled baby new potatoes rock) whole and never a "baked potato." Yes, I also googled it. Jeeze.
