    Firsttime doing bird with Q-Vision

    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.

    Has anyone done smoked Crab or Lobster?

    Never did lobster but oysters on the half in the smoker come out REAL nice with cherry wood.

    Whole chickens vs. single pieces

    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...

    Firsttime doing bird with Q-Vision

    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.

    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.
