Chicken?

Cold Smoke · March 06, 2004, 03:29:29 PM

The beer can chicken turned out very decent- really moist. I used 6 apple bisquettes but the smoke flavor was a little mild for me- I'd double the smoke time or toss in a few hickory pucks next time. I also find that the birds I've brined overnight vs those that have only had a dry rub have a saltier taste ( that's my preference-I like a little salt with the suds).

Just wondering- has anyone ever tossed a chicken (or anything for that matter)in the smoker for a second round of smoke- even after it's done?

Hi Coldsmoke
Out of interest, where are you? I'm sitting in Ontario and your last message said it was sent at 15:29 and I can't think of anywhere in Canada that's 5 hours ahead of Ont!
btw I have a chicken in the smoker as we speak and I may just try letting it cool and doing the coldsmoke thing again tomorrow. If it survives the gathering hords today (drawn by the smell of smoke I reckon) I'll let you know.

Top of the morning, Richard, I'm in Winnipeg- I haven't figured out the time thing on this forum- I'm 1 hour behind you- it's 9:50 AM CST as I type. Let me know how the double smoke works out.
BTW - I've found that razorwire keeps the hungry masses at bay....for a little while.

I've only just noticed that the time on mine is rather strange as well; I guess we're on Bradley time!

I cold smoked a pork butt after it was done and pulled apart because I thought it should have a smokier flavor. It worked great!only smoked it for about an hour.

Hey Coldsmoke!

Glad to hear the bird turned out for ya!

Been gone a few days and just got around to checking back on this page. You are right about the skin - I posted a photo on page one of this thread...it was tasty but don't let the doc find out!

Ya think next time I check into a hotel & they ask "Smoking or Non?" they would mind?

Why, I say to myself? They're in Canada, I'm in Canada, you're pretty damn close to them and it doesn't even appear to be UTC that they use! I shall continue to think of it as Bradley Smoker Time. BST or Bravo time!

Richard,

Yes, Bradley is in Canada. But the gentleman who graciously offered to provide our smoky cyber-club forum is in England. He is the European distributor for the Bradley smoker. We all owe him a thank you and a couple of pints if we're in the area.[8D]

I agree with you entirely Kirk. It's the finest forum I know of and beautifully run!

Fuzzybear,

I don't know who looks better....you or the Chicken LOL!

That is one nice looking bird. Thanks for the info on how you did it.

Well sir, I think the chicken does!

Gramma bought a 6 pounder that I'll be working on shortly....it's like whenever someone get's a taste of smoked products, the one with the smoker is expected to be the cook!

Has anyone ever tried doing up a batch of Jamaican "Jerk Chicken" I am thinking it would be awsome?

I tried smoking chicken in another smoker w/ temp around 200. The skin came out chewy and not crispy. Is that usual for smoking? I noticed that a Fuzzybear & Cold Smoke got crispy skin using BS.

Fuzzybear · June 16, 2004, 01:11:48 AM

Well, it's not crispy like true fried would be..........so I would have to say a little chewy is normal....but I don't snak on it unless no one is watching hee hee![:D]
