I did the same for my kiddos today. Nice weather for a little time with the Egg.View attachment 175756

Very nice. Mine turned out well too. My kid ended up with BBQ sauce all over her. It's one of the few things she will eat with gusto.

If you email a special request, they will go ahead and grind two of them for burgers and meatballs.

what are yall's thoughts on electric smokers? I've never attempted to smoke anything but would like to get into it.

A lot of people love their Masterbuilt smokers...they're pretty easy to use and the price is right.

Check out a "Cajun microwave" not electric but very versatile.

The best thing about them is they are very set and forget. You can make some great Q in the better ones. If you live somewhere that won't let you use charcoal or burn wood they are a good option. Given the choice I would go with a charcoal, wood, or a pellet smoker personally. But, if you do your research and buy a good electric, there is nothing wrong with them. If you want easy (set and forget), most pellet smokers, The Pit Barrel Cooker, The Orion Cooker, and The Barrel House cooker are all good options that use charcoal/wood. But, again a quality electric will do the job admirably if you're set on that route. The link already posted shows plenty of good options in electric.

The gravy is money!

What wine did you use?

My first smoker was an electric Masterbuilt and it was a good way to see if you’ll want to do more (you will!). Sam’s has the MBE 40 for $100 off Black Friday. You can order it online for $229 if you’re a member.

Looking to smoke a whole chicken on my Oklahoma Joe this weekend. Would like the skin to be crispy...any tips?

Crank up the heat a little. 300-350 will do the trick. That or finish it off on the grill.

Hope it turned out well....and as others said get the heat above 350 (375 ish) and that should get the skin crispy.

This may sound crazy but add a little corn starch to your rub. Maybe a teaspoon, or so and I promise it will get crispy without affecting the flavor.

I’ve heard of the corn starch trick. Definitely worth a try...thanks.

Thanks.

Was in East TN this weekend for an early Thanksgiving and made the turkey. It was the bomb! I had too much liquid in my roasting pan and I had to modify it a little after pulling the turkey. But It turned out well. The gravy with the turkey "crud" and white wine is the shizz-nitz!
