New to cookshack smokers

sandlapperMember

I have just obtained my first Cookshack smoker and studying the manual and reading some of the forum posts I believe I have a bit of a learning curve to ascend!
I plan to smoke some quail. I don't see any recipes for quail on the forum. I would like any suggestions about proceeding to smoke quail- temp time etc. I will do perhaps 15 or 20 small birds about 4-5 oz each.

Welcome.

Using the "search" function I found a couple. It will only search the sub-forum you are in as default. Select "advanced" search and it works better.

Here you go:

Search "all forums" for "quail"

I add my "welcome" as well.

If your smoker is new, be sure to season it.
Quail being as small as they are, won't require too much time...I'm guessing an hour at 250. If you have an electric smoker, go easy on the wood. 1-2 oz will get the job done.

Welcome. I think Smokin found everything you will need. There was a bunch of good info in that find.

Just from my experience and research on chicken, I would definitely butterfly them and brine them, but it won't take long in the brine. Chicken takes on a lot of smoke, so be careful, I did over smoke the bird the first time around.

Many happy smoking adventures.

I would echo what everyone else has said.
Especially go easy on the smoke for any type of bird, and welcome to the family

You’re gonna like the way you smoke
