Whatchya smokin

[glenn57]

  I gotta try that!!👍

What do you use for a brine, or marinade or rub??

How hot and how long. Internal temp???

Been thinking of getting some turkey legs and chicken hind quarters and run through the smoker with the brine I use for the fish

[mike89]

Smoked spatchcock chicken. Turned out awesome!

they are great for smoking!!   cooks way more evenly I think!!!   looks great Cooperman!!   

[Cooperman]

Just remove the backbone, tail, fat (save for stock or soup) no brine, brush with oil, and apply a chicken rub. Lay it out flat and smoke with whatever wood you like. Like Mike said it cooks more evenly, and faster. Internal temp 165.

Who is going to help you eat all of the goodness?   

[mike89]

the tenders are small, so the 2 of them only weighed about 2 1/2 pounds...  and the GF might come over tomorrow...  she's been MIA in Wis for a few days...

Since I had the smoker out, I decided to make some smoked pineapple bacon baked beans

Hey,  Coop, any special recipe on these

[Cooperman]

Fishwidow, this recipe came from the smokin meat forum. When I make these again I will definitely use crushed pineapple instead of chunks, and maybe not as much. I thought it was a little to sweet, but the wife loved it.

Cook Time 3 hours

Ingredients
* 6-8 each strips of bacon cut into 1/2 inch squares

Notes
If you are making these beans as a side dish for Kansas City style pork ribs, smoke the removed skirt meat for 1-1 1/2 hours, then dice the skirt meat and stir into the Baked Beans.

DISCLAIMER

With the jalapeño pepper and the dry mustard these beans have the potential for some MAJOR heat. CAUTION should be exercised when feeding these beans to small children and/or the elderly.

To make this recipe family friendly, omit the jalapeño pepper and the dry mustard.

Now you are talking my language.  I love chuckies.  Been thinking of getting one myself.  I love them as a pot roast in the oven so it gets dark colored on top.  With carrots, onions, spuds.  Reminds me of when my Mom made them.
