Thanks for having me guys. I'm Dee from the Pennsylvania Mountains. Im looking forward to experimenting with the #1 for all things especially wild game meat.
I've got two smokes under my belt with the #1. first smoke was two venison roasts using a brine found on the forum and the other from a book. The recipe from the forum turned out amazing and the other was decent but a little salty.
The second smoke was a whole chicken. Brined over night using some info i got from a post from DivotMaker.After 5+hours in the smoker at 250 it was only at 140 so i had to transfer it to the crockpot to finish since we had plans and had to leave. It turned out really good and the family enjoyed it. I think it might have been a tad overcooked from the crockpot. Ill have to get better at estimating cooking times.
Overall a decent start and im sure the smokes will only get better with a bit more practice. Im really loving the simplicity of the unit. Set it and forget it is perfect with a few young kids to chase after.
