How to make Beer Can Chicken
What happens here
Utilize the Traeger app (or grill display) to continuously monitor the current grill temperature and the internal temperature of the chicken. The app will alert you when the chicken reaches the target internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). For longer cooking sessions, such as with brisket, it is crucial to also monitor the pellet level in the grill's hopper. Running low on pellets can cause the grill's temperature to drop, potentially affecting the cook. The app can provide alerts for low pellet levels, preventing cooking issues. The host notes that he periodically refills his pellet hopper during long cooks.
Goal: Regularly check the internal temperature of the chicken and the pellet levels in the grill, especially for long cooks.
