piney, thats kinda the way i do my beer can chickens with the rub. i don think you will have a prob with it getting crispy with the sugar from the rub. looks good. lookin forward to more pix when done.

Jerry, good luck on the skin! I really want to get back into poultry as the warmer days are comin and for me that means warmer smoker. I have tried and failed indirect on the bird. The meat turns out real good and moist but I continue to throw out the skin with all my rub on it

. Please keep us posted! ya got my bird juices flowin again.

Jerry, that's an awesome looking bird, you're going to enjoy the flavor of Tip's brine/injection. It's become a staple in my brine book

. Love the pics of the bird stuffed with the peppers and onions, nice twist. Looking forward to more pics as this thing gets closer to eatin' time.

 

[seboke]

Yeah! Looking great so far!!

 

[pineywoods]

Ok heres the finish


I got none of it sliced the vultures were consuming it as fast as I could slice but the skin was decent and the bird was juicy. Wanted to get one of the peppers and onions but they disappeared. Now on to the taters

Ready to go back on smoker

And ready to eat after second time on smoker

Thanks Tip brine and injection recipes were great
