High Heat Quick Chicken

I'm trying the crank the temp up and blast a couple of chicken breasts. Got a full chimney of K and lump with some chunks lighting and about a hlf a chimney of K and lump with wood chunks in the fire box. 3 chicken breast brined over night. Gonna do em naked and add some sauce at the end. Pics to follow.

Well, I was disapointed with my experiment. Got the temp up over 384, which is the max on my thermometers, but after 30 min my internal temp was only 170. I started saucing for another 15 min. The skin was not very crispy so I threw it over the coals for a few minutes. So, my mtotal cook time was over an hour. Usually if I'm just doing a few breasts I throw them in the smoke chamber for 20-30 min, then finish over the coals and I'm done in 45 min, with similar results. They turned out very juicy and flavorful, but I don't think it was worth the extra fuel and time.

My thoughts exactly . . .
