Sweet Daddy-D
Knows what a fatty is.
Tomorrow if all goes as planned, I'll be smokin up my first bird. This will make my third smoke on my WSM 18.6. First was ribs-one rack spares, one rack BBs. I'd give the BBs a C+ and the space a D+. Second smoke was a butt, I give that a sold A-. Tomorrow the plan is 2 spatchcocked birds rubbed every which way on and under the skin, looking at a target of 300 to 325 degrees heat. I'll watch it with my Maverick 732 until it hits 165, which I will verify with my brand new Thermopen (the faster than fast grey model).
My questions are- assuming I can't fit both birds on the top rack, will I need to be concerned about a temp differential between the two racks? Should I set the probe in the top bird or the bottom bird? I haven't used two racks yet.
Will I get any crispness of the skin at these temps?
How does a mix of hickory and cherry sound?
