Welcome aboard NebDave, I am also in Omaha. THis is a great site with a lot of great people that teach each other and tons of great recipes also. What part of Omaha you in?
Good info JDNE5B but just a heads up at smoking guns, if you like your burnt ends to be beefy carmelized tender pieces of brisket this was not the place for that when I went. At least the one time I went they were tough and lacking flavor. They had almost no rub or sauce on them. Everything...
Jeff's recipe has a little spice to it but you can pull that back your self since you make the rub. On that chicken I would smoke it until almost done then put it in the hot over to crisp it up or hot grill.
I am already hooked on cold smoking cheese and using my AMZNPS in my MES also, I was just trying to prevent having to go to the store to buy chunks for my Mini.
Has anyone used it in a Mini and placed it on top of the steamer plate? I just got away from buying chunk woods and have a range of different flavored pellets I would love to use. If so what kind of temps have you gotten it too and had no problems with producing good smoke?
I would smoke in the 300 degree area if you want a crispy skin and just verify the breast and thigh get to 165. If you brine it will be really juicy and if the chicken is juicy it will not be tough. I would say you would have to really over cook the thing to make chicken tough. If you don't...
ChefJimmyJ has hit it right on the nose there are no other safe ways or shortcuts. Running water method is fast and safe I have used it for whole chickens and roasts safely.
The WInd is the killer even just cardboard will do the trick. I had about the same results as you with my brinkmann by just putting a board in front of the smoker to block the wind and I was back up to 250 no problem.
Just tasted my first batch last night of Pepper jack and WOW that is great stuff. The wife actually asked if I am going to do more and we have not even opened up everything I just smoked.
My problem is I still have a bag and a half and not sure what to use it for now. The smell is really bad and I am afraid it will be passed onto my food. Gonna go in the wood burning stove i think.
