Hey everyone,
Finally got my smoker all set up and did the first burn earlier today. Decided to throw some chicken drumsticks on and try out this smoking thing I've been hearing about.
I've used a kettle before for a slow cook of some pork, and I've used a smoker tube on a gas grill, but this is my first real smoke.
Put the chicken in a brine of salt and water for 30 minutes. Then used some Montreal Chicken Spice over top.
Put them on the grill with the racks because I don't trust the grill yet because I just burned it out, and the grates are pretty black.
My COS - Charbroil 1280
Basted with a bit of bbq sauce. IT is currently 130-150 depending on the drumstick. Will upload the final result once it's done.
Has been fun for a first try. Earlier I put some hickory wood chips that had been soaking, onto the coals. Thought someone was going to call the fire department because there was so much smoke. Won't try that again.
