Fried Chicken on the Weber Q?
I have a cast iron pot I like to make fried chicken in. Has anybody every tried this on a Weber Q (full size Q)? Does it get hot enough?

Yes! I've done it on my Q 200 with a lodge chicken fryer pan. It worked great, and the chicken was perfect.
Thanks, I've got the same Q. As mentioned the Le Crueset pot I have is pretty deep and it works great on the stove top. I usually leave the lid off to let the steam escape, never tried frying chicken with the lid on. Which way is better?
If you want to make traditional Southern style fried chicken some time with the lid on is a good thing. It's one of the reasons most pans marketed as chicken fryers come with a cover. The steaming/covering makes for a tender bird. Here's one technique that's pretty fool proof even if you bread the bird differently:
