A NEWBIE here but been smokin for some time. Used to haev a smoke pistol http://www.smokepistol.com/ and I have used it for awhile. The wife got me a new smoker for XMAS, a MES, and I am going to use it right after I get it.
The question I have is - I am going to do a brisket and a shoulder. What rack should I put the brisket, and what rack should I put the shoulder?
I am going to rub them both with a good quailty rub and let them sit overnight with it on it. Then the next morning EARLY I will fire up the smoker and get it going. I am thinking the shoulder on top for more heat? But that puts the brisket closer to the heat source?
I am going to use hickory and apple chips, and spray the meat down with apple cider every hour after the initial 3 hour period.
So far how does this sound?
Oh yeah, I would love to put a whole chicken in there as well....But never did one of them how hard is it?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
