Hens in a Hot Tub?

[cowgirl]

Not sure what to call these....
Smoked some cornish game hens and twice baked tatoes in my UDS for my dove hunting friends on opening day.

I brined in a mixture of water, kosher salt, cracked black pepper, onions, garlic and bay leaves.....
After brining, I placed some sliced smoked sausage and bacon under the skin, then rubbed them with butter and seasoned with some homemade seasoned salt....

Fired up my UDS..
used a bit of hickory

Added the tatoes to the smoker during the last 30 minutes or so....

The hens were moist and tender....
I think I love smoked twice baked tatoes. lol

Outstanding job. Looks delicious. Is that a standard 2x baker or is there a special recipe that you use?

Thanks Paulie!
I guess it's a standard 2 baker...I saute garlic and onion in butter before adding the tatoes. Then mash, add milk, cheese and season to taste.
Sometimes I add crumbled bacon.....you can never go wrong with bacon IMO. :biggrin:
