    Smoking Whole Chickens

    I forgot to post pics. The chicken was perfect, took close to 3 hrs because of lower temperature, the ribs were a little tough, but I should have left them on longer. Anyway here:

    Smoking Whole Chickens

    Today I am planning on smoking a couple of whole chickens on a Char-Griller Smoking-pro. I am planning on brining them for a couple of hours, rubbing them, then throwing them on the smoker using crabapple for 4-6 hours at 300*. Does this sound good? I've never done whole chickens, just breasts...

    Crabapple?

    Hi all, I have a 50 is pound crabapple trunk that my neighbor gave me when he had a tree cut down. I was told that it is very similar to apple and good enough for smoking. Is this true? Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks, Ben

    Planning First Smoke--Three Questions Please

    I would agree with building extra time for your pork butt. I smoked an 8 lber and a 5 lber for a group of friends last weekend. I put the 8 pounder on at 5 am and planned on 10-11 hrs, it ended up taking 13. Lots of hungry idle people at my house for an hour and a half. Ben

    Hi, all! I'm from Grand Ledge, 10 miles west of Lansing. Gotta love the weather here, huh? On Sunday while smoking some pork butts, I dealt with rain, hail, and snow. Boy was that confusing. Ben

    Pork Butt on the new smoker

    Yesterday, my dad and I put together the firebox for a Char Griller pro. I seasoned it and today I had some friends over for some pulled pork as the inaugural cook. I used 2 butts, a 5 lb, and an 8 lb. the 8 lb went on at 5:00 and the 5 lb went on at 9:00. Last night I put the pork in brine...
