      So is 650 the highest you have ever gotten it?

      Wide open you should have no issue getting to that and above. On my Egg 650 is a low-medium temp for most the shit I cook on there. Pizza and steaks are typically 675-750.....
      Seasoning the grill I have had that fucker pegged which is over 900....

          Buy the largest one you can afford. I started with the Large and had to step up to the XL. You won't regret the purchase!

            Yes, 650 is the hottest I have gotten it too, but I didn't want it that hot so I backed it waaaay down on the air intake. I think I did the pizza at 450, burgers last night at about 600. Still learning it and the air vent settings/amount of lump coal and how they react. Grilled 4 times on it so far.

              Might try cooking the pizzas hotter, in my experience 550-600 seems to cook them much better on mine, and be sure to let the stone have plenty of time to get good and hot. I like to drink while cooking burgers so I do them lower to allow for more beer consumption lol.

                Cooked a pizza tonight at 475 for 9 1/2 minutes, a little burned on the bottom. Not so bad you couldn't eat it, but just a tad over done. I'll either do it at 450 again, or try a little less time. Added some mesquite wood chunks, had a pretty good flavor!

                Chicken breasts tomorrow night, not sure what I'll marinate them in yet.

                  Time cooks, temperature browns. You're going too long at that temp. Shorten time, or shorten time even more and raise the temp a bit.

                    We have a Kamado.. They say not to use a liquid starter fluid in them as it contaminates the surface..

                        Chopped54, cooking that chicken in the pan like that, does the bottom get gooey? The top looks nice and crispy for sure! Does all that juice in he pan sort of cook it like it was in boiling water?

                        I used a pan on the second rack, sitting on top of the pizza stone to catch the drippings when I cooked a whole chicken (on a stand so it was similar to the one on the left), but I racked it upside down, so the breast was closer to the heat (read that on some egg forum). Was OK for my first one, still getting used to adjusting the temp correctly and maintaining it thru the entire cook. Usually end up getting hotter, but I'm slowly learning hoe to dial it all in!

                        Cooked some chicken sausage Saturday, I took a friends advice and par boiled (sp?) them a bit before grilling, helped them not split and dry out this time. I always either under or over cook sausages.

                          slowly I'm getting better. cooked another chicken tonight, cut the air down sooner than i did before and it held at 405'ish for the cook. Used a spicy rub Lyn bought, corn and cauliflower mashed potatoes. Turned out really good and very moist.
