Checkin tenderloins, wings and dummies.

[txusafguy]

OK I am smoking some tenderloins marinaded in mesquite flavoring from mccormick.  Wings and drummies with sweet baby rays mixed with cayenne pepper and minced garlic.  I am using my own mesquite chips I cut out of the center of a piece of Texas mesquite firewood.  I am looking forward to the wings the most.  I do not mind wings being dry so this should be a good turnout no matter what.

is this smoker a electric model or propane, i had a electric model like this one, and loved it. but i sold it to get a stick burner. mi think i like this one better, except for the clean up.... i though mine had to be just as clean when i was finished cooking, as it was before i started. a clean cooker is a happy smoker.

Mine is the electric one.

I thought the idea was to leave the inside of the smoker covered in the "soot" to get better flavor? I clean the drip tray, bottom pan and water pan as well as grill before each session.  Am I mistaken?

Thanks for the welcome.  I did not get pictures because we destroyed it too quickly.  tenderloins were really good and the wings could have used little more kick.

It was really good.  wings needed a little more kick though.

i always smoked chickens cut in half, using kicking chicken seasoning and applewood seasonings together. it was a hit here.

i will say I am not a big fan of the applewood chips.  I will just stick to the mesquite chips that I harvest from my pile of fire wood.

this apple wood is a seasoning made by mcCormick, does not taste anything like apple wood.

Gotcha.  Might have to try some of that.  I think I am also going to do a whole chicken tomorrow.
