New smoker

Welcome to SMF!  Glad you're here.  Hope you found some ideas you liked before your first smoke.  Chicken picks up smoke pretty easy so just about anything is good.  My favorite is hickory.

Chicken on a WSM 22.5", easy peasy!  Great smoker!  Chickens do well on the WSM with either a filled or a dry water pan.  I prefer dry for a crispier skin but you are either well into or done with the smoke by the time you read this.  If you have an questions after the smoke ask away!

Once again, welcome!

Welcome from Canada.



I think you will like it here, it is a great place to learn to smoke. If you want to make some friends, post pictures of your smoke. We love Qview (pictures).

Hello and welcome to SMF from East Texas,  Chicken is pretty forgiving, hard to screw up.
