    Requirements for a Next Generation Smoker

    Yeah, I knew the minivan thing was a stretch, but I can dream! Backwoods has the advantage of dealers local to me.  I've also been eyeing these: http://www.humphreysbbq.com/smokers/ Humphreys has gotten some rave reviews on other forums. Pitmaker also is most definitely in play, but their...

    humphrey's half pint

    Just popped an herb marinated chicken on the smoker after marinating for 9 hours. Chicken is a Freedom Ranger from Polyface Farms (of Omnivore's Dilemma fame). Freedom Rangers are more reasonably proportioned than factory farm chickens, with excellent dark meat. Perfect for Q. Third time in...
