    Whole chickens vs. single pieces

    I will probably just cut back on the salt and plan to brine. By the way my menu consists of 5 Racks pork spares 10# Boston Butt Bone in ( for pulling) 4# Center Cut Pork Loin 5# Prime Rib Roast 5 whole chickens or equivilant parts 60-70 shrimp/jalapeno/bacon wraps Plus sides ( not my department)

    Whole chickens vs. single pieces

    When you say to back off the brine, whats a good ratio? Normally I use 1 cup salt, 1 cup brown sugar to 1 gallon water plus a little apple juice thrown in. Also one more quick question is the cooking time affected by using single pieces, legs, thighs, breasts?

    Whole chickens vs. single pieces

    I am having a large party on Sat and was thinking about saving some time and smoking individual pieces of chicken instead of whole chickens. Are there any cons with doing this. I will be brining the night before.

    Kind of a stupid question.

    If im smoking a wild turkey breast do I need to take it to the same temp as regular turkey? With the meat being different texture and the breast being dark meat just made me wonder. Sorry for the stupidity.

    Couple of quick brining questions

    I am going to smoke a wild turkey breast and wondered if brining would have the same effect on it as it does on reg turkeys. Wild turkey breasts have a different texture and taste then reg turkeys. Also does brining a pork loin make a significant difference? Thanks.

    Ever done "Hawg Wings" aka "Pig Wings" aka "Pork Shanks"

There is a small bone there with this round muscle attached around it. I know this isn't too technical but its all I know. We can buyy them from a local...

    Smoking a ham?

    Last year I smoked 10 24# whole bone in hams for thanksgiving (Korn Top) brand. These are already smoked hams and I just resmoked them and brought the temp up to about 140-145 degrees. They were excellent and got great reviews from everyone that got one.

    How long will smoked meat keep?

    I have been arguing lately on how long you can keep smoked ribs, pork, chicken in a refrigerator before it goes bad. Anyone know the limits.

    My first 321, and a couple of questions.

    I generally smoke at about 250 and have to modify the 3-2-1 method to more like 2 1/2- 3/4-3/4 if I go any longer in the foil they seem to be fall off the bone which I don't want. It also depends on the ribs. I have cooked 18 slabs at once and they all cook a little different depending on the...

    How long can you wait after brining?

    If I were to brine some chickens for 24 hours could I take them out and then keep refridged a day until I smoke them. I have to do some traveling with them in the mean time and this would be easier.
