Ok Gents. Be easy on me. I am the new guy. I would like to throwdown.
Below is a recipe of my own. Well sorta. It's just a whole chicken. With my "custom" rub. Olive Oil, Lawry's, and Brown Sugar. Because of the Golden Tan she gets by end, I call this recipie...
Snookie Chicken.
I had a couple of Hickory Chunks in the pit and smoked her for 4.5 hours in the Kamado at 250 degrees. I used a cork to keep my probe off the grate for a more accurate temperature. (I learned that here)
Took it out when I got a reading of 165 internal temperature.
Here she is before the tanning booth:
Here she is on the grill. Bronzer freshly applied.
And Finally... on the dinner table, I guess this should be the submission picture.
Also FYI, the Akorn is pretty efficient.
Here is much wood was in the pit at the start:
and here is how much after a total of 7 hours or so.. (I let the smoker sit for a while before I put the chicken in)
So that's all I got fellas. I made a couple of mistakes along the way, but family loved the chicken.
