i just bought three chooks $13 us i'd guess. about 2lb each. i have two in the following marinade.
1 cup sea salt
2litres (2pints?) water
1 onion cut
1 cup sugar
1 huge manderine squashed whole in my hands then dumped into the mix.
squirt of lemon juice (don't know why)
tea spoon black pepper

they will marinate for 2 hours (i'd like longer but they are for tea.(supper)
i'll then rub them with the supplied cs chook rub. into the smoker set on 250 for 3 1/2 hrs and 2oz hickory. now, if ive got time , temp or smoke wrong, PLEASE POST NOW!!

the chooks ended up all but inedible. the thighs were really moist and very tasty but the rest was like boot leather, and the same colour. i did read somewhere on the site that brining shortens cook time. anyway , i ended up cooking them for 3 hours @ 250 and they weighed (raw) about a pound each. they were small. i'd like to pump some next time to add moisture and allow longer cooking as the chooks were still a bit stiff around the legs despite being overdone, not falling apart like oven cooked chooks.
