Full Fledged Farker
I had a friend just return from a week of bird hunting in SD. He gave me a few birds to smoke, but I've never done a pheasant. Has anyone else?

xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Have never tried smoking it, seems to me the meat is already very dry. In the bachelor days I would throw it in the crockpot with veggies and cream of mushroom. Pan of biscuits and you're golden.

Talk about timing!
One of the locals at my neighborhood "beverage store" gave me one tonight to smoke this weekend.
Took a quick look and popped it in the freezer for now; looks to be already dressed and in parts. (figure 2-3 lbs.?)
Will be going to school per above and any additional tips and advice will be most welocme.
Never did one before.

The brine I used was off of the CookShack forum Smokin Okies turkey brine if my feeble mind remembers correct?

Kapn, them pics make me sad. I miss dat ole ecb. That was the one my neighbor threw away and I rescued, only to have it burnt up in my backyard incedent.
My suggestion is to brine, for as long as possible. I brined a few for 24 hours for the usc tailgate/game a few weeks ago. Takes out the gaminess. Injecting is pretty cool too. I think I injected the ones in the pics above in a cajun recipie.
Remember, these little bastards dry out in a hurry. I would try smoking them for about an hour, then finish them over direct heat maybe on the kettle.
I got 2 left in my freezer.

It would be best spatchcocked or portioned out and grilled (with wood chunks?) rather than smoked low and slow.
Game tends to be very lean and you'll find it hard to smoke it without 'drying' it out.
Pheasant along with Quail & Guinea Foul are quite a popular game bird's over this side of the pond and they tend to be roasted or cooked in meaty stews.
