Here is a simple recipe that the whole family will love (my son's favourite).  First off I brine the Chicken for 24hrs in a simple brine of water sugar and salt.

Next I wash off the chicken and injected it with a 50/50 solution of BBQ sauce and pineapple juice.
 
And add to the smoker (using my gas one today) with pecan chips and keeping it at 250 for 2.5-3 hrs


 On a side note I got this handy soap dispenser for you hands by the sink…..awesome for when handling chicken as you don't have to touch anything!!


now sit back and drink beer and enjoy the smoker smells…..Be back later with final product!
 
well the rub adds a layer of flavouring, so I put the rub on usually on the night before I smoke. Then an hour before the cook, start your smoker with the wood chunks and take out the meat to warm to room temp.  Depending on what meat you are cooking, low and slow is the best way.  So usually low temp of 200-250 over long periods of time breaks down the fat in meat to deliver extra flavour plus makes it tender and juicy. By adding wood chunks while cooking this adds more flavour yet.  Does this answer your question?

Fresh pineapple juice is a very effective meat tenderizer. It can quickly turn your meat to mush. 

Cooked pineapple juice is OK.
