Above your beer can chicken, saw you had some pretty good looking jalapenos. Would you mind sharing what you have in them? Think that would be a "keeper." Your chicken looks wonderful and really juicy.

Would be interested in your brine recipe. Read where the type of salt you use makes a difference in quantity. Good to know somone that has used a recipe before using it the first time and then it does not turn out. Thanks

I am planning to smoke two whole chickens. What temperature should they be done at? Are the chickens put on the grates breast side up or down? Thanks.

Bill: Thanks for your reply to my question on a gas burner for the Chargriller 830. If you can find that link, I would appreciate it. I had planned to use that gas burner to help maintain the temperature. Thanks again.
Thought I got this onto the forum, but don't see my question, so here goes again -- I have the Chargriller 830 and recently added gasket lining around the smoke chamber. No smoke comes out now and seems to work good. Was wondering if anyone has ever put a small propane burner into the fire box...
On my Chargriller 830, my last modification I made was to put gasketing around the smoke box to keep smoke & heat in. Has anyone ever tried to put a propane burner into the firebox? Was contemplating this with a small propane burner from a portable picnic grill.
Have a question for you, Willkat 98: When you installed the tuning plates into your 830 Pro Grill, did you just lay them in or bolt them in? If that solves the problem of the heat difference, that would be great. When I measured the temperatures as of now, it is about 300 at the firebox and...

Crazyhorse:
I have a Chargriller and have heard that if you extend the outlet stack down to the cooking grate that is another modification. In your experience is this a viable option? :?:

1 T cumin
1/8 cup soy sauce

Greetings Bob-BQN:
Thanks for the response to my question. I am going to smoke a turkey this coming week end and will try your method. I am going to try to make a temporary basket for the charcoal until I get time to purchase one. In the times I have smoked, I usually use Kingsford charcoal and...
