Started out at 300 for the first hour then backed it down to 250. It may have been 3.5 hours, I'll hav to check my log (good idea to keep one) Again, it was my first attempt at chicken and I think the 4th or 5th time I've used the thing in 2 yrs. Always workin'
4 hours ISH. it started to rain. I started out at 300 then backed it down to 250. I only managed to hit a 160 temp on the breasts. I think I should have started out at 350 for the first hour then back it down to 250. Love to hear opinions on this.
I just brined a bunch of breasts and did them yesterday (check post adn q-view under first time doing chicken.) It came out nice for my first time. I think it would be fine but I would let the "Senior Pit Bosses" weigh in. Bottom line.... Go for it...
Its not dry so I think I like the brining idea. I may have lost some moisture cheking the temp but that can get fixed with a much better thermo. I thing I could have had it skin side down to get a bigger smoke ring but It cam out good. It can use alittle fine tuning.
A day of firsts
1st brine attempt
1st attembt at chicken
1st attempt to show pic.
All in all I was pleased with the results. The 10 hour brine 4.5 hour smoke. Cant wait to see where I can take this.
I may really start thinkling I have an idea of what im doing!
Just checked on the breasts and got alottle on my fingers??? I dont think I can wait till I hit the 170 degree temp. I may start scarffing it down at 140.
Sorry, I forgot that part. Doing 4 fat bone in skin on breasts that I brined for about 10 hours (first time brining also). Im starting with an oak base at 300 for the first hour then back it down to 250 for about 1.5-2 hours.
