Smokin a beer can chicken using one of Jeff’s email recipes. My plan is to use the chicken for Tacos. Gonna throw a couple of fish fillets on later for my wife. She loves her fish Tacos. Tacos will have a little twist. We use flour tortillas, diced apples, cilantro, chopped onions, lettuce and tomatoes with an avocado Aoli sauce. Pretty tasty.
So here’s how we’re doin it:
Whole chicken 3.5 pounds
Brined chicken for three hours in fridge in a gallon of water a cup of kosher salt and a cup of brown sugar
Jeff’s original Rub mixed in a bowl with butter and mayo
Lathered up bird
One 805 beer, disclaimer I drank the beer and filled can half way with chicken broth
Put bird on beer can and stuck it in the cooker. Pit is set at 275 using pecan wood and gonna let it roll until IT temp hits 170 as I was told that is a good temp for pulling chicken. Here’s a few pics to get get started.

fish is not going to make it to a tortilla. My wife is eating it off the foil lol.
