I went hunting this weekend and we killed 6 for the day.  Now for the rest of the fun.  I normally fry and then back my Rabbit I was lighting the smoker up for some other stuff so I decided to try Rabbit.

First did a 24 hour Brine of salt, suger, cajun spice.  Then Dryed and rubbed with Jeff's Rub.


I will update everyone in a few hours when they are done.  I am planning to cook these until about 160 internal temp unless anyone has experinace with these and suggest a better temp.
 
Looks good man!

I am thinking those are going to be great, I have smoked them in the past with mulberry wood and they turned out great with just a standard brine.
 
Well the cooked much quicker than I thought 3 hrs and they got to 160.  Tast was very good but the outside was a little tough.  I am thinking I should have sprayed them with some juice or at least water.  Good thing I have 4 more to try and make it better.
