Well folks it has been just over a year since I started me new job.  The good thing is I love it and it is much better money than teaching.  The downside it I don't have near as much time for cooking but today we are making some time.  I am going to walk through this one as the day goes by with the finally right before the fireworks. 

Boneless Chicken Thighs Brining in Apple Juice and spices..

The UDS is purring like a kitten the smoke is thin and blue and the Chicken Thighs are getting kissed with the good stuff.

I am using a new rub I was given to test out from a friend of mine.  It is called Pap and Elmer's bird Blend at first taste it is a little salty we will see how it finishes up in the end.

Not really I like Mojo but never did it on chicken.  That is more of a Cuban thing now i do like to bast with some Italian dressing.
