2 BUTTS AND 3 BIRDS WITH Q-VIEW!

[rollin smoke]

Smoking 2 Boston Butts (bone in) and 3 whole chickens for a Christmas party tomorrow. I'll be injecting the butts with apple juice and some seasonings tonight so they can soak overnight. Firing up the UDS about 8am and will have plenty of pics to come! Its gonna be a long smoke! Cant wait!

Wow! Sounds like a great smoke!!  The butts going on top, right?  Don't want chicken juice leaking into them.  Can't wait to see the Qview!

Can't wait to see it! Did you find a temp probe?

Can't wait to see it! Did you find a temp probe?

My wife surprised me with a master forge wireless today. Early Christmas gift. Tested it out and matched up prefect to the temp on my other thermometers. I'll be using it tomorrow. I'll be getting a maveric soon. I want the 2 probes.
Pops...chicken is definitely going on bottom! I'll probably start chicken when i foil the butts for a bit.

Went ahead and injected with apple juice. I'll be taking care of the chickens when I get these big boys in the smoke. Lately I've been doing a nice vinegar wash with chicken. Seems to pull most of the blood out and tenderizes the meat.

Don't know if you can see them but there's 3 birds on the bottom rack. Butts just reached 140 IT. Waiting on them to hit 170 then foiling. Maybe sooner if they stall.

Butts stalled at 150 IT. Went ahead and foiled them.

Chickens turned out great! Big hit! Almost gone already! Still waiting on the butts to hit 190-200.

Butts finally broke through the stall at 170 IT. Unfoiled and letting them cook the rest of the way in the smoke.

Couldn't hardly get these butts off the smoker without fighting people off! Told them it has to sit for at least a few minutes!

Just thought i would take the time to thank all of the smoking pros on here. Since I've joined this forum my skill level has increased 10 fold! Smoking meats is not just a hobby of mine, it's a passion. And to have almost 40 people last night tell me that I made the best bbq they've ever had makes me love it even more! So thank you for the wisdom from all of you!!! You've created a monster!!! Haha
