Hi I smoked a whole chicken tonight with my new 44" smoke hollow pro series , and it was much easier than i thought it would be whew . So had my girl friend get on here and find a brine to make we brined for about two days which was not planned , Than tonight preheated and what is great is i have two burners and two smoke boxes so i turned on one burner got temp to 235 and let it smoke till it was out about a hour and than turned on the other burner and turned off other burner i also seasoned the chicken with a country seasoning from alidis nothing special and make some potatoes onions with country seasoning again . cooked for 3 hrs till temp of chicken was 170 . and wow amazing

Good looking bird ,Qwik

 Was that done (BCS)beercan style , or just a lay out? However , it had to be flavorful with 2 days in the Brine. Not that it hurt it(as long as it was handled corectly), but just time to swim around and soak up juices , Mmmmmmmm. Have you tried the Slaughterhouse Brine?

Oh, yes. Glad to meet you. Stan here , and hope you choose us to call home.

 Be sure to keep sharing your Q-view and....

That looks real nice. Chicken is one of my favorite things to smoke.
That looks like a cool smoker too.

Looks great...... That does look like a cool smoker..... Only bad thing is keeping the glass clean. We have a MES with the glass window at work, we basically gave up on keeping it clean..

Good looking bird! 

 Keep smoking and sharing those pics. Happy to hear about the smoker too...I'm looking at that one myself but was waiting to hear how people liked it.

Nice smoker. Is it insulated? Double burner and insulated would be a big hit around here when the snow flys, and its coming soon.

As for keeping the glass clean.  I use rubbing alchohol on a rag. Soak the rag pretty good and just wipe away. If you do this every 5 smokes or so, youll have no problem keeping it clean. Plus rubbing alchohol evaperates leaving no chemicals in your smoker.

I have used a magic eraser to clean the glass. Works fast and easy, so there is probly some kind of cancer disease I will catch as a resukt of my laziness....but it does work perfectly.

Nice looking bird and smoker. The glass front is a nice touch.
