Morning Robert

 

Morning Good Sir.

 

Morning Frank

 

Went looking for pork belly and ended up with a brisket instead.

 

Cool, did you find pork belly

 

Going to have to hit up Sams when we get back home.

 

Heck ya, you never see these prices in your area for some reason

 

Should see in store specials Sunday on leftover 4th meat.

 

Ya I thought about it. We are still at the cabin in NC for another week though. Limited space for stuff.

 

Nope, didn't think about asking if they had any in the back. Was too excited after finding some prime brisket. lol

Went by the butcher shop and stood at the counter for 10 minutes to see if they had any pork belly. They looked out from the back a few times and never came out so I said screw it and left. I'll grab one when I see it at Sam's again.

 

Well that’s plum rude on there part.

 

Yeah, well they just lost any future business from me for that shit.

Anyway, going to do my chicken breast and wings here in a few. What temp should I run them at on the smoker? Shooting for around a 3 hour smoke.

 

I don’t smoke chicken breasts or wings very long. Just a little and finish on grill. I do whole chickens and leg quarters. On these I run the smoker about 225 and keep a close eye on them. We don’t like heavy smoke on our chickens.

 

Awesome, thanks!

Not sure what I’ll do. First time doing chicken on a smoker. I’ll just wing it. Lol

 

For chicken breasts I just run the pit at 350. They pick up a little smoke flavor, minimal, but there. Always come out good

 

Whats the run time about on that? Hour or so?

 

Major

 

30-45 mins depending. With the fan it Cooks convection style and pretty quick compared to our oven.

 

Mine went about an hour and a half. Had 1/2 dozen make the ultimate sacrifice. But the rest are good to go. Tender and great flavor. Not dried out which I’m surprised about. I’ve never been much of a fan of cooking chicken on the grill. Looks like smoker is my forte though. The burned ones were the ones right at the fire box opening too so that was kind of expected.
