    Hot dogs

    I am cooking for a company gathering in 2 weeks. I want to smoke 100, 1/4 lb Hebrew National hot dogs. I am going to smoke at 250. How long do you think it would take to bring them up to 160? I might take about 8 of them and do a trial run.

    Wing question

    I had the same situation. I smoked them on a Monday to 140 and on Tuesday I put them skin down on a 400 degree grill. Brought them up to temp with crispy skin. Hope this helps.

    Chicken Breasts with Ribs advice?

    This is my go to when I smoke breasts. I brine them for 8 hours, rub them, let them dry in the fridge over night, smoke for 2 hours @ 250 and the skin comes out near perfect every time. I think the overnight drying in the fridge helps them crisp up.

    Excessive time?

    Hey all. I have successfully smoked almost a dozen spatchcocked chickens, all of them hit 160 between 2-2.5 hours at 250 degrees. Put one in for dinner at 4 o'clock and took until 9 pm to hit 160!  Any ideas why this would be? All the birds have been between 4-lbs and 5 lbs. The only...
