Breaking in the new smoker

[caseyp]

Last weekend me and my family went to Bass Pro and bought the Masterbuilt XL smoker. I preseasoned the smoker one afternoon after work and have been chomping at the bit to smoke something in it all week. We had a chicken in the freezer and I thawed it out and brined it. Started smoking it about 3:30 this afternoon and its almost done. Ill let y'all know how it taste in a little while.

That looks great.  I love cooking beer can chicken in mine like that. They always turn out awesome. I want to do a beer can Turkey this year in mine.

We're not big on beer so we use Dr. Pepper instead. Next piece of meat will be a brisket and/ or pork butt

Just curious, how big was that bird?

To be honest I didn't look at the weight. My guess would be 4-5lbs.
