Doing some beef ribs, chicken thighs and sausages on smoker today. Chicken thighs are my new favorite thing to smoke, super tender and flavorful. If you haven’t smoked chicken thighs, you’re missing out.


Beef ribs @ 275 or so for about 3 hours. Cooked them until they hit 203, then wrapped in pink paper. View attachment 45090

Chicken thighs @ 275-300 for around 2 hours or until they hit 165.

Brandon, do you start your chicken at room temp or straight from the fridge? I like the idea and am going to give it a go. Thanks.

It really depends on how much time I want to invest, LOL. This time I took the chicken out of the package and patted it dry. Seasoned them up, put them on a baking cooling rack which was on a cookie sheet (ones with the raised sides) and put them back in the fridge until I was ready to smoke them. They turned out great. I probably could have smoked them to a little higher temp, but was in a hurry. I have picky meat eaters and they really like the smoked thighs.

Let us know how it goes Floyd.
 
First attempt at stuffed burgers. I don’t have a press so I’m actually happy with how they held together. Need to dial back the size next time lol. Thought they would cook down a bit more. View attachment 45310
You didn’t actually put “sun chips” on a plate next to a burger did you?

Don’t try and disguise that meal as healthy lol. I’m still looking for the Faygo in the background. I know it’s there somewhere..

I would be more concerned about the cheese situation... Only a psychopath puts cheese below the burger!!!

Remember, low and slow, I try to keep it at 250 degrees. Also cook them to at least 165-170, but not a lot more or you’ll dry them out.

I’m excited to hear how it goes!
