    Smoked Chicken Cordon Bleu

    It took about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. I had the smoker temp around 225F but the main thing is to measure the temp of the chicken itself. Once the chicken temp gets to 165F it is ready.

    Hi All, I have just joined this forum and look forward to learning all about smoking! I live in Atlanta, GA and would definitely classify myself as a novice smoker chef. I have just ordered the Masterbuilt 20070910 30-inch smoker to replace my old Brinkman cylinder type smoker that was OK but...
