Ordered SM045!

Welcome to the group and congrats!

Waiting is always the had part but well worth it. Let us know the results after you use it a time or two.

Be sure to check out Smokin's 101's ....... a lot of good info there.

My smoker was just delivered and is at home waiting for me! Now I just have to try and make it through the rest of the word day.

Surprise and congratulations on the new smoker! I am sure you won’t be disappointed.
Welcome to your new addiction
So what you gonna smoke first?
Don’t forget the pictures

Due to time constraints my first smoke will probably be chicken, but am thinking a pork butt over the weekend!

Did the initial burn in last night. Had 2 chickens in a brine overnight and will be cooking them tonight for dinner! I think I am going to try 250 and not worry about the skin as we typically don't eat it anyway. Can't wait for dinner time!

One of our favorites here is smoked skinless chicken (usually leg quarters) served with Big Bob Gibsons White Sauce. It is excellent eating!

Qnorth, I have a bottle of that sitting in my cabinet and wasn't sure what to use it on. I think I will try it on the chicken!

The chickens came out extremely moist and tasted really good. The skin was rubbery which is what I had expected but it had a very bitter and taste and dark color. I think I used a little too much wood, and I even took the smallest chuck I could find from the sample box it came with. I am amazed at how much smoke flavor came from that tiny piece!

Going to try some pork butt this weekend!
