New Smoker

[smokinincincy]

Hi all. I just joined this forum, and thought I'd introduce myself. My names Brent, and I live in Cincinnati, Ohio. I'm a noob when it comes to using a smoker, but have eaten plenty of smoked food. I just got a masterbuilt electric 30, and I will be smoking my first chicken this weekend. I will be using a brine, and I plan on smoking at 250 for 3-4 hours. Happy smoking

Welcome. I would crank the mes to 275.

Dry the bird for 24 hours in the fridge to help the skin.

Also look in to a AMNPS from Todd. It burns wood pellets, one tray will smoke for 12 hours instead of using the chip tray in the mes.
