I have had desire to try smoking for quite a while. Always been a Griller from way back when. My firs BBQ grill was a hand-me-down from my parents. They bought this cooker soon after they married and kept it cookin for many years. I think the maddest my father ever got at me was the day I decided to clean the little cast aluminum cooker down to bare metal. That was twenty plus years of seasoning gone in one afternoon. I still have this cooker and use it all the time.
As for my debut in smoking, that happened tonight. I talked my son into buying me a Brinkman Smokeâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji] N Pit a couple of months early for fathers day. All I have used it for before tonight was grilling. Tonight I was at the store picking up a few things and on a knee jerk decision bought a 5 lb. chicken. I knew the (very) basics of smoking and jumped right in. All was going well but I wanted to find info about “how long to cook.†I googled Smoking chicken and that lead me to here. Been reading for over 3 hours.
One question I have is most of the veterans mention smoking at a certain temperature, but my smoker only has a thermometer that shows an “ideal†range. I there a website where I can buy a thermometer with specific degree markings?
I am looking forward to being a part of this community.
