    Anyone ever smoke a Boar Leg

    It weighs 5.5 pounds.  Bone In.  Thigh.  Probably going to keep it as a roast and slice to eat.  I have applewood.  225 sounds right.  How long am I looking at 5-6 hrs?  And any rub that is particularly good?

    Anyone ever smoke a Boar Leg

    I was given a Boar leg and want to smoke it in a couple weeks.  I have the Chargriller Duo with the firebox.  I was thinking about doing a rub and using applewood.  Say 225 degrees.  But for how long.  Any suggestions?

    1st time smoking chicken

    I smoke a chicken about every two weeks.  First I brine mine for 3 days.  Take it out and dry it in the fridge for another day.  I cook my bird at 215 degrees and I use about 3 chunks of applewood with lumpcoal.  Take about 4-6 hours.  I like a longer smoke.
