WSM is on my post tax shopping list.  Following with interest… 

Looks good to me. Wish I was having that, instead of the frozen cheeseburger that I just had ...

Frozen cheeseburger…. not cool.

It has been very easy to use so far.  Hope to do a skinless whole chicken on sunday along with some ribs.  At least that is the plan right now.

Lovin it!

My daughter's lunch for the week.   Chicken spatchcocked, skin on the breast removed, rubbed and now on the smoker.   The thighs, wings and legs should be ready for lunch.   Ribs will go on later.

Why do u remove the skin my friend? Just curious you will still get great smoke without that step or are you trying to control fat content? I find the breast tend to dry out when I tried that waiting for the rest of the bird come to temp otherwise looks great!!!

Really was just a trial thing.  The breast was carved for my daughter for school lunch for the week ahead.  The rest is for lunch today.
 
 
Here is the finished chicken and lunch.

Yum. Looking good.
 
I was a little worried too when I saw the bit re: the skin removal, but it looks quite nice ...

Fist my ass that looks good. Frickin A man.

Need to do need to do!

I would definitely do it with out the skin again, it really did not dry out the breast meat.   Since my daughter does not like the skin I figured I would give it a try.

I did not.  After you cut the skin off and it is in a pile, looking the way it looks, it went in the garbage.  I know it could have been revitalized with some bacon fat…maybe next time.

Iike to pin it out like I'm dissecting a frog, sprinkle it w/ JHP powder, and Searzall it ...

 

[JayT]

Question, you had the probe in the breast.  Were the thighs done?

 

[tctenten]

Not really sure.  The thighs, wings and legs went into a 325 oven for 15 minutes and were done after that.

Ribs about to be wrapped.  Going to try 3-1-1 today.  2 more hours to go.

 

[grantmichaels]

Looks good. I still haven't done ribs on the grill, amazingly.

Glad it worked out!
