So, about to begin my 2nd smoke. First one was done with three 8lb Boston Butts and it turned out great. Got some great feedback here when I thought I had ran into issues. Learned a very valuable lesson from my first smoke. The Large BGE just isn't big enough for me, so I sold it yesterday and am picking up my new XL BGE on Friday night. That being said, I want to get it started off right with a smoke on Saturday which leads me to my next question.
I am wanting to smoke a chicken and a butt at the same time. We just put the chicken in brine this morning and will be rubbing the butt tomorrow night. Also thinking of throwing a couple of racks of BB ribs on there for good measure and to ensure that I have something to eat to hold me over while I wait on the pork shoulder to get done. I would like to smoke the butt and ribs at 225, but not sure if that is sufficient for a 9lb chicken. Also, want to make sure it is safe to smoke the chicken and butt at the same time.
Lastly, what the heck is Q-view. I searched it, but came back with a lot of hits and no tutorials on how to use it. Is it simply uploading images to photobucket and posting the IMG code here, or is it an application specific to this site? If there is a sticky somewhere for Q-view, please let me know so I can read thru it. I want to join the party of showing all my smoking conquests as I plan on having the XL egg going very often. Thanks for all the help so far guys.
