In your honest opinion, how many chicken halves will fit on a grill with an
area of 870 square inches?

exactly half as many as would fit on a grill with an area of 1740 square
inches.

Seriously, square grill? round? what are the dimensions if square?

Figure about 6" x 10" per half, not counting the leg bone.

Jack

I should have put down, it's a square grill.
Thanks,
Brian

Assuming a standard chicken half is 45 sq in., 1/2" spacing between
chickens, that all the chickens are homogenous, that the coefficent of
friction is zero on the grill surface, that wind speed is negligible, and
that the chickens won't move, I'd say about 7 whole chickens or 14 halves,
giblets removed.

If you don't get the allusion, just say so. Someone will be along
shortly to enlighten you (maybe).

Someone explain to Spud that it doesn't matter where he grips it,
or even if there were two with a line strung between them...

I think you're making light of African Americans.

I believe the word you meant to use is epithet.

Frankly I was surprised that Kevin appeared to cross a line he has drawn so
clearly in the past. Until a hint was dropped regarding the cultural
reference. At that point my trusty sidekick Robin turned to me and said
"Holy Grail, Batman! Now I get it!" <clip, clop, clip clop>

Brave Sir Robin ran away

Bravely ran away, away

When danger reared its ugly head

He bravely turned his tail and fled

7*(45+2)=329

OTOH,

870/(45+2)=18 chickens.

CHICKENS = 870 / [(9+2*0.5) * (5+2*0.5) *2]
= 7 American chickens

And a cluckety cluck cluck..................

Oh Yeah? Well, Pluck U! (the name of a chicken wing place in Santa
Clara, CA)

I didn't cut my chickens in half. I was smoking them, not grilling
them. Being whole, they had a much smaller footprint ;-)

And if you did beer can chicken, you could probably fit 24 birds on
there... (the only advantage of beer can chicken is space).
