Whats on the Grill or Smoker?

[srb08]

Tried smoking a couple chicken quarters from food lion yesterday. I think they were as old as I am, and tough as leather. didn't turn out too bad, they were edible.

I've gotten to the point that I almost always brine chicken before grilling of smoking.

Good idea Steve, I put the other pieces in the brine bucket for 24+ hours, got them ready for some rub, and then into the smoker. we liked them much better this way. even mama commented on them!

Finally got the last piece of BBB sliced up, and threw some venison burgers on the little grill.

I've been looking at those. A old hillbilly buddy of mine has a smoker made from an old commercial freezer and I got spoiled with that. I also have a wireless thermometer and that has been so useful.

My dad has the treager elite, I like it but I think I do better with my Saffire, just like the Green Egg

Oh and one important thing when looking to make the Hillbilly Deluxe it has to have the fiber rock insulation not the polyurethane styrofoam crap in it otherwise it'll poison your food
