My first smoke....happening now......suggestions?

[arbond]

Ok, Finally got over myself and said....."Just do it".

I have a dozen half chickens in my new propane MasterBuilt. 

Here is what I did:

Water in pan.

Partially soaked hickory chips in original pan.

Now smoking at roughly 275ish.

Recommendations, suggestions, what should I change?

just don't forget to check the IT of the bird .

ahh      photos.

 

[arbond]

So, after on hour, they LOOK gorgeous....but the IT was not close, maybe 100.

Is this how they should look maybe after an hour?

Sent a pic....after an hour of cooking....waiting for it to get reviewed I guess

  ,  Be safe and cook to Internal Temperature of 165*f  ( or above ) in the thickest part of the Breast and Thighs . A temp . of 300*f for cooking is good for promoting a crisp skin , and take those temps . in the Meat for sure... be safe...

Wow....impressed even myself.

So, cooked them for 3 hours.....took internal temps and they were great.

They were delicious!   Moist meat, crisp skin, great smokey taste.
 

Now, need to go find cleaning suggestions.

Looks great....I never soak my chips or chunks of wood unless I am using a grill with charcoal at high heat....I put them dry in m smoker....

 That's how I roll...
