What's on the smoker today?

[INMT]

My first stab Dale...made a helluva mess.

You won’t regret it. Brined, spatchcocked, and smoked is the only way I cook them now.

I’m so thankful for all y’all guys that showed how to do these shoulders!!
This is a game changer. First one is a success. Even tested it on a picky kidlet. It’s gonna be a good thanksgiving addition. Happy Thanksgiving!

How long and at what temp are you cooking them this way?

Approximately 2.5 hours at 275. Been using this recipe with various different spice mixes:

I also like to pull the skin away from the meat and put pats of butter and some thyme and/or rosemary springs under the skin. It allows those flavors to really penetrate into the meat.

Smoking a turkey today, just like many others. We raised and butchered this one ourselves. 18lbs dressed, had to cut her in half to fit in the smoker. I need a bigger smoker.

My curios mind has to ask why did you go with the chickens over a turkey or two?

Don't know why Ken did it, but I think chicken tastes better. Especially the Hutterite chickens here in Montana that are as big as a small turkey. mtmuley

Apparently also smoking bacon wrapped carrots, per my wife's request. Anyone ever try these? We never have.

I usually prefer to lay the pound of bacon flat on foil on the cooking sheet.


Your way seems like a lot of work to just eat 6 pieces of bacon....

Double smoke ham to go with the gobble gobble

We drizzled them with maple syrup too, and they turned out good, but no better than dried bacon. Just trying something different.
