First I would like to thank Richtee for the excellent poultry write up and all others post that help me.

The rig was set around 300 and was able to maintain 250 to 275 (with stock gage) at around the 5 hour mark the internal temp was 172. I really need a to make a much larger shaker basket because the stock so called basket would not of last much more than 5 hours.

The meat fell off the bone and was very tasty.

I learn a lot about my rig and damper settings. Also need to add thermometers at great level. I will take pics next time.


8 lb chicken
I used Wutangs brine less the citrus.
RUB
1 tbsp dark brown sugar (dried and sifted)
1 tsp regs sugar
11/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
Cracked black pepper
1 tbsp paprika
½ tsp dry mustard
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp sage

½ can Boulevard Porter Wheat Beer

I am going to do two chickens and beef ribs this weekend, can’t wait.

I am glad you tried the brine and had good results. I like the sound of your rub too. I love Boulevard beer but had a quick question..Did you use Boulevard Wheat or Boulevard Bully Porter?? Or have I missed a Porter Wheat they make??

That is good stuff. I am gonna be in KC next month and looked into taking a tour of the brewery. But they were already booked for the dates I would be there. Maybe I will just have to find some place to drink some instead. :bounce:
