    If I have one complaint is my vent/controller...the picture is as closed as I can go and the widest I can open is one more triangle for half open. Reviews from some on this MES have some saying they don’t get enough smoke. I get plenty of good smoke as long as I stay on top of my water and wood...

    Browned well, just shy of crispy... so still soft but flavorful throughout

    Chicken thighs and drumsticks smoked to our liking 3hr smoke with apple/maple chip combo @ set temp of 250 It’s a slow cook but worth the patience Fresh Chicken or thawed, season with a poultry blend, all seasoning, garlic-Parmesan blend, brown sugar bourbon blend and or whatever your heart...
