4 Hour Stall??
I have an 8# pork butt in the smoker at 240 and it stalled at 151 for 4 hours!! I put it in at 9:30am and it is just now at 164. I put in pan with Redd's Apple Beer, covered in foil and put it to 270 because I don't want to be up all night. I am very nervous about it drying out though? I... -

First Time Smoking Chicken
Thank you for the tips! I actually love boneless skinless chicken breasts and would prefer to use only the breasts(I wont feel as guilty about the super fat white sauce I'm going to be drowning it in :)). But I keep reading that they dry out easy and wont retain moisture in the smoker. Maybe... -
First Time Smoking Chicken
I have a few questions on smoking a chicken. I have smoked brisket and pork, but never chicken which is my favorite food and what I cook with 90% of the time. I have always been intimidated of cooking it in the smoker though. I would like to do a pulled chicken for sandwiches. I have never...
