I don't like stuffing in a bird. It ends up too soggy. I have about another hour to go on the coals and I will put the birds in the oven at 225F to finish them. I will go to 165F internal temp, pull them and let them set for 30 minutes before I slice them.

Then into vacuum seal bags and refrigerate or freeze.
 
Thanks. A couple of beer kegs, some expanded grate, a 4" 90 degree big rig exhaust pipe, some bed rail, and a couple lawn mower wheels.

What is the optimum time to let the breasts cool before slicing them. Not to serve, but to vacuum seal and store.

It was actually yesterday but dumplings for Chinese dumpling day. Home made by my mother in law. Lamb ones (which we don't normally have).

The dipping sauce I made. Crushed garlic, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and a dash of tabasco.

It's quite different, and has quite a strong flavour. My wife and Daughter don't like the lamb ones, so they had some from the freezer (still home made), more traditional pork and chives, and I think some prawn ones. One of my favourites is pork with finely chopped french beans.
