Smoking in Pittsburgh

[jrsully77]

Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jon and I am new to smoking but have consumed some of the best food from my brother-in-laws smoker. I just purchased a Meco charcoal water smoker and am planning on smoking a chicken this weekend.

Welcome Jon -

There are two schools of thought on chickens

1 Brining and injecting
2 Beer Can in the butt

I've done it both ways and I prefer brining and injecting. It get the flavor inside the meat as well as outside.

Hi Jon! I’m from Pittsburgh too! Welcome!
Lots of times, I see those good deals on chicken thighs (99¢/lb) and I smoke up a tray or two. Talk about good meat for chicken salad, or oriental or just eating cold! Or smoke them and freeze them for later. Mmmmm, smoked thighs!
