My last smoke in the new smoker today before I return to work for the next few weeks. And to think, I'd never even heard of a spatchcock chicken until a few weeks ago.

This forum is not going to help my waste size. Not one bit..........

Fixing to pull the chickens out of the brine and fire up the smoker.
 
Yes, this forum can increase the desire to try new things. Spatchcock chicken was one of them and it is a favorite. I'm ready to smoke a fatty next. Or maybe some ribs. No, maybe salmon. Darn the decisions one has to make.

Maybe you just need a bigger smoker. Do them all at once and take the guess work out of it :-) Hey....it worked for me once the wife got on board with REALLY good food!!

Loaded the Yoder with 2 chickens and some large cubes of Pork Belly. Used Naked Rub on one of the chickens and on all of the pork belly

About 2 hours in. Looking good. Ran the smoker on 250 with a smoke tube full of perfect pellets.

Pulled the Chickens @ 165 breast temp. They turned out very good.

Followed Jeff's recipe on the pork belly burn ends. Did one batch with Jeff's sauce & honey and I did the others with some Strawberry/Jalapeno pepper jelly & honey. Only thing I did different from Jeff's recipe after I had put them in the pans (covered for about 90 min) I drained all the juice & fat out of the pans and returned them uncovered for about 30 mins just to get a good bark on them. Man I got to stop cooking these pork bellys - they're so good. It's been another good weekend.
Hope everybody had a good weekend too and y'all have a good week. I think I'll go eat - again.......
 
Nice looking cook on them hens, and ends.

Point for sure.

Great looking cook.
I can only imagine how that chicken skin tasted!!

Cuing up some pork belly burnt ends this weekend coming. You make it hard to wait!
 
Thanks guys, the belly drippings on the chicken was by design but wasn't as noticeable as I thought it would be, Everything turned out good that day.
