    Fantastic tips, thank you!! I think I will try the sand. I've got some kicking around here and it's worth a try. I missed a really good WSM sale and now I'm looking at the Master Chef thinking I could still get by with it until a sale comes along again or I stumble across a used one. I might...

    Thanks for the additional welcomes! The quarters were delicious. Hard to imagine cooking chicken any other way now, hehe :)

    Thanks, David! I've been lurking around here for a few weeks now and have been impressed with the friendliness. Using the search bar as much as possible and getting real hungry doing it :D

    Thank you, Wade. Yes, I'd imagine a WSM has its own quirks. At least I'll be able to get advice based on that smoker and not this cheapo one that nobody has :) Brooksy - Here's a couple of pics from one of the quarters cold from the fridge. I didn't think to take any last night. Still just as...

    After adding the chicken, I treated it like a crock pot. No peeking! The first time I lifted the lid was to add more water to the water bowl (which had evaporated). I checked IT of the chicken at the same time using another thermometer in case my probe thermometer wasn't working. The lid was off...

    Yes, it did! Thank you!! It'd break my heart to have to toss them after all this. They look mighty tasty for all that I've been clucking over them.

    Update: The chicken finally got up to 170F and then kept climbing. It was well over 200 when I filled the water bowl up again and then the temperature dropped considerably. I've now learned a valuable lesson - keep water bowl empty for chicken as it seems to have sucked all the heat out of...

    Greetings! My name is Hannah. I'm from British Columbia, Canada. A.K.A. the pacific northwest. My dad used to smoke fish when I was a kid and remembered how good it was. That's about all the experience I have - the eating part. I have a very cheap bullet-style vertical smoker purchased from...

    Hello! I'm a complete newbie here and to smoking. I'm currently attempting to smoke chicken leg quarters in a cheap bullet-style smoker. It's not going well. Or it might be...I'm not sure. I'm not sure the smoker brand would help but for what it's worth, it's a Master Chef Vertical Smoker from...
