I forgot to post pics. The chicken was perfect, took close to 3 hrs because of lower temperature, the ribs were a little tough, but I should have left them on longer. Anyway here:
Today I am planning on smoking a couple of whole chickens on a Char-Griller Smoking-pro. I am planning on brining them for a couple of hours, rubbing them, then throwing them on the smoker using crabapple for 4-6 hours at 300*. Does this sound good? I've never done whole chickens, just breasts...
Hi all,
I have a 50 is pound crabapple trunk that my neighbor gave me when he had a tree cut down. I was told that it is very similar to apple and good enough for smoking. Is this true? Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks,
Ben
I would agree with building extra time for your pork butt. I smoked an 8 lber and a 5 lber for a group of friends last weekend. I put the 8 pounder on at 5 am and planned on 10-11 hrs, it ended up taking 13. Lots of hungry idle people at my house for an hour and a half.
