New to smoking ladies and gentlemen...

Had the day off so I decided last night to brine a chicken, and smoke it today!

Nothing fancy just a little butter garlic injection under the skin in the breasts & legs, and a little applewood dry rub.

Hit it for about 4 hours on my Brinkmann charcoal smoker with just a bit of apple wood chunks...

Thoughts?

bird was super juicy... personally I couldn't be happier with my first ever attempt. I was talking with my wife tonight about how this is one of the odder hobbies she thought I had picked up... I have already been exploring the options of purchasing a considerably larger smoker as well!

Go for it! You'll still use the smaller one, but it's nice to have the extra capacity when needed with the bigger one.

Nice looking Bird! It is not always easy getting the skin nice and crisp.
