    Pulled chicken ahead of time?

    True, yeah I might as well try sous vide since I know i won't risk drying it out that way. What you think for reheating all that, 150° for an hour or so?

    Pulled chicken ahead of time?

    I do have a sous vide, never done anything large quantity like that but don't see why it couldn't work. Usually when I reheat beef and pork I throw some beef tallow in there, any thoughts with chicken?

    Pulled chicken ahead of time?

    Hi all, question about smoking ahead of time for a group event. Going to have about 30 people and planning pulled pork and pulled chicken. I have a commercial warming/holding oven , however, it is one temp for both drawers. I'm not concerned with the pulled pork as the plan is to smoke the pork...

    Split breast -- Creole butter injection?

    Have 4 bone-in and skin-on breasts, around 1.25 each for tomorrow along with 4 pounds of wings. Planning on doing the wings on my summit charcoal with vortex, and throwing the breasts in my offset around 350 to 375. Have done Tony's Creole on turkey before, wondering if it would be just as good...

    Thoughts on this custom built reverse flow?

    Been a lifelong WSM and kettle guy, but have been very intrigued lately with an offset stick burner. Not much has popped up around me over the past couple of months but have had my eye on this one. It is the only smoker the guy has built and I'm not exactly sure what to look for other than what...

    Help choosing from these Offsets

    Looking into my first offset after being a lifelong Weber guy. Few options within 3 to 4 hours of me right now. First one custom built by a shop in Texas and priced at $350 (1/4"). 2nd custom built by owner and asking $700 (3/8"). 3rd is an Old Country Brazos for $700 with upgraded temp...

    Tony C creole butter injection amount

    Doing two chickens for tomorrow, injecting tonight for pulled chicken sandwiches. Do ya'll stick w 1oz per pound when using this injection? Still add rub if so? Debating using it all or saving some to pour into the pulled chicken and whether or not to use additional rub. Don't want it to be too...

Man, best Rachel sandwich i have ever had. I soaked/injected for 13 hours, desalination for 4 hours or so, patted dry and air dried...

    Smoked Turkey breast

    Howdy, digging deep looking to smoke my first turkey breast for some Rachel's this weekend! Couple of questions... Is your cure 1 the same as prague powder 1? I have this from making Pastrami. Does it matter if the breasts already have a brine solution from packaging? I've never done turkey...
