    First Time Smoking this weekend

    Picture taken two hours of smoking.  After three hours of cooking I checked the meat temp and it is 161 almost ready.  I do have a question the two thermometers I have one says 180 for poultry and the other says 190 why does the USDA and us say it is finished at 165?

    First Time Smoking this weekend

    Just before going into the smoker I did not put it in with the pan I put it on the grates.  Took a little to get the smoker to stabilize at 250 but I think I got it.  Well just put a thermometer through the rubber bushing and the heat is 25 deg. higher.

    First Time Smoking this weekend

    So you suggest doing a whole bird and not breast or thighs and no I do not have the meat yet was going to get it soon.  I don't have a problem doing a whole bird and just use Jeff's rub on it.  I will have plenty of time to brine it. Thanks

    Well I received my smoker (WSM 22.5) from Amazon  this week and on a side note I was thinking of going to the place in Virginia to get it for $317, but the cost of fuel and tolls I would only be saving $30 or so and my time is worth more then that. The Smoker arrived on Tuesday and I was...
