    Hey Everyone! New to the group. Here in Springfield!

    Bishgeo, Nice offset!  That is what I am going to start looking for this spring.  I have thought about building one but then I think about just finding a decent cheap one and sealing it up and modding it to be good to go.  Still working on that decision though!

    I watched a few before doing it.  I just need to really sharpen my knife and practice at breaking the chicken down to be more proficient at it.  Just means I will have to buy more chickens and spend more time around the smoker! DARN!

    You are not joking when it comes to the ash! Enough to choke out the coals. I might go with lump this next bag. I have thought about it when at the store looking and seeing what is on sale. All I know for sure is that I will only be using the Kingsford in my high life grill. That chicken was...

    HAHAHAHA... you know I am!  I was talking to the fiance last night... planting that seed of the new smoker.  That way, when she pulls around back of the house and sees a new offset smoker, she isn't going to be too surprised! HAH I would like to have an offset smoker with reverse flow.  Just...

    Ok, so got the chicken brined for a few hours in just salt and water. Got the smoker kicked up and rolling at 250. Pulled the chicken after 3 hours in the brine and cut that dude in half. Seasoned it with some jalapeno powder that I make, galic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Put it on...

    Thank Grillmonkey!  I grabbed two 4 lbs chickens this last Sunday.  Dropped one in the Crocpot to make pulled chicken for lunch but the second is going to be brined and tossed into the smoker this Friday-Saturday! I will post back on here with how it went and add some Q-view pics as well!

    HAHAHA... I know it.  Camera was in my pocket the whole time.  It is just once it was sliced and I picked a piece of the loin up with my fingers to put on my plate, once it was set down you could see where my fingers were when I picked it up.  Looked like I had Hulk squeezed it!  So much...

    I also forgot to add my grill/old smoker on here.  This is what I had been using and still do.  I am planning on some mods for this guy.  Going to put a fire box below it and modding the inside to make more of a reverse flow smoker.
