    first ever chicken smoke (real time qview)

    unfortunately we lost the blue smoke. i put my 2 pecan chunks on the side of the basket but i guess the coal got to them. its not a thick white smoke still opaque but not that pretty blue. it is bellowing out pretty good though. hopefully all still turns out well.

    Rust

    After i burned and wire brushed my drum it rained and it rusted. I just took the wire brush to it again and painted the outside for rust protection. Then i sprayed veggie oil on the inside and seasoned it. Its good to go now.

    question on preparing a brine

    You are right about just doing the bird naked. Ill do that. Also for future recerance when i do try a brine does it matter if i use table salt? Or should it be sea or kosher salt? Also im not sure who smurf is? Haha the little blue people from the cartoon?

    new guy here!

    my first mistake i think was that i did a point and a flat separate. i didnt have a packer. im guessing these are harder to do because there is not much fat on it that way? i also only got the temp to 175. with my old horizontal smoker i did it on i was so worried about temps i kept opening it...
