So I smoked some chicken legs using the Peterson Pucks, and they worked great! I brined the legs, coated them with a dry rub, and used four maple pucks (each one is roughly the size and shape of an actual hockey puck) in my model #1.
Smoked the legs for several hours, and the pucks performed beautifully the whole time. In fact, when the cook was done and I removed the smoker box, three of the four pucks were depleted, but one was still almost 50% intact! It stared up at me as if to say, "Put me back in, Coach! I've got more!"
Flavor was excellent. Smoky-sweet, bold but not overpowering at all. Honestly, these are the best legs I've ever done.
I will definitely be buying more pucks, and recommend them highly.
Cheers!
- Phil

Phil - let us know how those pucks work out. I've been curious about them.
I have been smoking pork bellies, makin bacon! Absolutely love that maple and hickory flavored bacon! Also had great results making and smoking home made linguica. Oh yes and cannot forget the hickory smoked Cashews. Have some ribs that have been knocking on the freezer door. I just I cannot put them off any longer.
