Another homerun in a #3

[johnnytex]

Well, I've been kinda busy and got a new toy-a propane pizza oven, so the #3 has been feeling lonely.
Big party last night, so time to dust off the big boy.

A #14 packer and #10 of chicken leg quarters was the assignment.

The packer was rubbed Franklin style (1/2 Salt and 1/2 Pepper) @ Noon on Friday.
Then, into the #3 @ 10PM-225° with the Auber holding her steady.

Then, the chicken legs went into a salt and honey brine and then into the frig.

8 AM Saturday, Legs are washed and rubbed with 7spice rub and back into the frig.

By Noon on Saturday, brisket IT was 190° so time to pull, wrap in foil and towels and into the cooler.

At 3PM, it's chicken time, 225° for 3 hours.

At 6PM, chicken was @ 165°, pulled them and took out the brisket. It was still so warm I had to use gloves.

Needless to say, the hungry hoards were chanting by then.
The brisket was as tender as a pot roast and the chicken moist and crispy.
All I heard was snack smack and yum yum.

The #3 wins again. The best smoking I've ever done while asleep!.

That smoke sounds delicious!! Have a couple of questions - #1 how many oz of wood for brisket and how many oz and what kind of wood for the leg quarters?

Tex, that sounds like a great feast. Well planned and your timing was impeccable.  It sounds like your were the man of the hour, or should I say, the talk of the town.

Sorry. I knew I forgot something.

I used a pecan wood for all. For the brisket 4 0z. of chunks. For the chicks, 2 oz. of chips.
With the Auber and short smokes, I found the chips to work best.

 

[DivotMaker]

Pecan is a great choice, Tex!  Interesting about the chips on the short smokes, too!

 

[NDKoze]

In addition to shorter smokes, chips work really well for lower temp smokes too as they start smoking at a lower temp.

Thanks for the feedback on chips for shorter smokes!  Glad I bought the chip tray - will use it this weekend for some ribs/chicky...
