this past weekend i smoked my 1st animal. i decieded to do a chicken 1st since it would only cost me around 5 bucks. i was given my 1st smoker by a friend of mine who recently purchased a green egg. thanks to kevin i am now a smoker. he gave me a brinkman brand smoker. only modification i did to it was add a numbered temp gage. i found a rub on youtube that tasted good. i started to cook the chicken. i did cut out the back bone and split the chicken in half. about an 1 1/2 into it the hickory smoked wood chuncks i put into it were gone. now i only soaked the wood chuncks for an hour so that may have been why the burned up quick. i did have to more in now i also had to add more charcoal also but the process did take around 5 hrs. the chicken was excellant, juicey and moist. the only problem was there was almost to smokey. hopefully things will only get better. if anyone has any pointers for a newbe i am always looking for suggestions.
