    1st time Beer Can Chix ?'s

    as for as time, don't base your cook on time. go by internal temp. i take the breast to 165-170 and the thigh to 180 or so. when i butterfly the birds, on avg it takes about 1 hr 15 min to 1 hr 30 min to reach the internal temp. If you plan on eating the skin, i would increase the temps to...

    1st time Beer Can Chix ?'s

    i agree w/rbranstner. I tried brining and I don't like the way it changes the texture of the meat. I now inject right before i put them on the grill. I have been butterflying them lately as they cook faster.

    What do you use, and how much?

    I use this brand or I make my own. As for as the amount to use, I just inject until the meat swells up. Usually a couple of ounces in each breast and and ounce or so in the legs and thighs.

    Was my chicken undercooked?

    I have smoked several chickens, including the beer butt chicken and the spatchcock chicken. I have brined some, injected some. Cooked at different temps, from 250* to 350*. In my opinion, I find the brine changes the texture of the meat. I have brined chicken from as little as an hour to as...

    NFL Schedule

    Saints v Vikes. should be a good game and i'm betting there will be no overtime. hopefully favre will except his punishment and stop trying to get special treatment from the NFL. JMO. Roethlisberger should have gotten at least an 8 game suspension. I would not be surprised if the Steelers trade...

    Smoking Chicken - need help

    I would definitely inject the breast. I usually inject w/melted butter, italian dressing, a little hot sauce and the rub you used for the chicken. I tried the brining thing, but didn't care for the texture of the meat and I really didn't see the benefit. So now I inject everything.

    BB's with raspberry chipotle bbq sauce & bonus items w/pics

    Chisoxjim, Interesting way of preparing the oysters. I only eat them chargrilled but have never used BBQ sauce. Does the BBQ sauce take away from the taste of the oyster?

    Jeff's rub on chix

    Jeff's rub and sauce are really good. I used Hungarian paprika in place of regular paprika and chipotle powder in place of cayenne. I find that regular paprika has a bitter taste, especially in the quantity in his recipe. The first batch i made according to his recipe and the second batch i...

    3rd Smoke..this time, Hungarian paprika

    I order my spices from http://www.myspicesage.com. I can't find chipotle powder or the hungarian paprika and this was the least expensive place I could find. The regualr paprika in the grocery stores are junk.

    3rd Smoke..this time, Hungarian paprika

    I agree. The first time I made Jeff's rub, I made it per the recipe and I found the paprika was a little bitter. The second batch, I substituted Hungarian Paprika and used chipotle powder in place of the cayenne. I also added dry mustard powder. I found it was much better but it's just my opinion.

    Butt and Asparagas

    Picked up a 5.09# butt yesterday and decided I would get an early start today. However that did not happen as my granddaughter was at my house and she delayed my smoke. It's all good. I applied the mustard and rub, wrapped in saran wrap and into the fridge for a couple hours. Finally cranked up...

    advice suggestions on first tenderloin

    i smokd a pork loin a couple months ago but it was not as big as the one you have. This is what I did. Marinate over night or at least 4 hrs. First thing is take an ice pick or a knife and make holes or slits in the loin. I find the marinade and rub penetrates the meat better this way. Just my...
