Fowl pron

No, not spelling challenged - just expressive.

I finally got a chance to fire up my new-to-me 22.5 WSM. I did learn that four eight pound chickens will not fit on a 22.5" grate. (My first thought was beer cans to stand them up, but I drink bottle beer and it was too early in the morning to drink that much.) The fourth chicken was a perfect fit in my mini-WSM.

Here they are almost done.



The bottom rack holds a twenty pound butterball that is almost done.



The chickens are off now and while they rest, I stole a leg from the one that I cooked in the mini using only pecan for smoke wood. It tasted really good! :mrgreen:

Thanks for the kind words. They picked up a little more color before they were ready for "a rest."





I stuffed the body cavities with some orange peels, cut up onion and some sprigs of sage and rosemary hacked from the ice coating them in the garden.
