    Chicken Thighs

    Thanks! Chicken ended up finishing 45 minutes earlier, but wrapped it in foil and it was all good.

    Chicken Thighs

    I'm doing a pork loin tonight, however one of my guests is allergic to pork so throwing in some chicken thighs too. Pork loin is typically about 2 hours at 240, I'm only doing 4 thighs so I figure it shouldn't throw that off too much. Will the chicken take about the same time or longer at that...

    Dry Brine and Injection - Turkey

    Smoking my first turkey this year.  I'm going to do a simple dry brine (Judy Bird recipe) and then smoke it with apple and pecan wood.  I just picked up an injector as well, was thinking a garlic butter type concoction.  Any suggestions on a recipe for an injection marinade that would go well...

    Wood for turkey

    Thanks for the advice!  I'm going to try my pecan/apple blend for this first one, hopefully comes out well.  I personally like the heavier/spicy flavors, but my guests do not so I think this will provide something they will all like.

    Wood for turkey

    Was wondering what you all use. I'm thinking about mixing pecan with either apple or cherry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First time turkey

    I never had the time as I was out of town too much on the weekends leading up to Thanksgiving and couldn't find a turkey at the store prior to then.  I just have to get it right the first time :D

    First time turkey

    Thanks for all of that info!  With a dry brine spatchcock turkey at 325 or so, any guess on how long I should allow for that?  Aim for an IT of 160 or so? Thanks, Tim

    First time turkey

    Thanks for the info!  I have a SmokeVault, haven't tried to go much above 260 yet so I'm not sure how hot I'll be able to get it.

    First time turkey

    I'm going to do a practice run turkey before Thanksgiving rolls around.  My practice I'm going to go a bit smaller if I can find it, but game time will be about a 15lbs turkey.  In the past before I had a smoker I've always done a dry brine and oven bag.  While the skin never came out crisp, the...

    Chicken and Pork Loin

    I think they both came out ok.  I put a little too much salt in my rub for the chicken, should have measured instead of eye balled.  I also had a couple of pieces of boneless skinless breasts in there, those came out a bit tough, but I kind of figured they would.
