Quick slow cooks

[CharlotteLovesFood]

Let's say I only have a few hours to try out my smoker...Is there anything I can I cook that wouldn't take 6+ hours...ideally just under 4?

Thanks in advance
Charlotte

Chicken, small piece of butt, wings.

I usually cook chicken in about 2-2.5 hours. I usually smoke 250-275 though. What kind of smoker are you using? If you have grill handy you can reverse sear some burgers or steak.

Happy Smoking,

Pork loin isn't a bad way to go.

I agree but when I smoke a loin I inject because they are so lean. It's cheap and makes a good supper!

Meat loaf or a fattie.

Chicken wings. An easy smoke. 250 2.5 hours and you are done

ABT's or some loaded beer can burgers.

Is best if you brine it first.

Sorry guys had a crazy day....

but ended up bringing a variety of meat home and I think I've settled on spatchcock chicken and drumsticks.

They are all marinaded and ready to go but I'm feeling a little out of my depth now and wish I would of waited.

I've got my coals in and my wood chunks which are burning up a fair bit (hope that's supposed to happen haha) temp is 200F has been for a bit now...what temp do I need to be at? And can i just wack my chick on yet? :/ sorry I'm an amateur I have read loads and watched a million videos but nerves are getting the better of me and my brains drawing a blank o_O

Thanks Aaron... I'm only at 200F do I need to get temp up? I'm doing spatchcock and drumsticks on a Jumbuck duel fuel (it's like the char-griller duo). I havent put my chicken on yet as it's my first proper smoke I'm so nervous!

Let em get to 225 and you can slide your bird right on the smoker. Just relax smoking is something you should enjoy don't stress! Check the IT at about 1:45 mark and every 30 minutes till 165 at the breast 170 at the thigh. You got this!

50 mins is more than enough time for a cider!
