This weekend I got a new toy. It is a Char-Broil propane smoker. I had never used a smoker before so this is all new to me. I decided to try a smoked drunk chicken first. I actually have a stand that I got from my father many years back and never used. The base is the shape of Texas and it has a tube you fill with your choice of liquid. Today my choice was Blue Moon Pumpkin Harvest Ale. I filled the chamber with the beer and drank the rest. I rubbed John Henry’s Pecan Rub on the outside and inside of the whole chicken before setting it on the stand.
I had already lit the propane burner on the smoker and filled the middle bowl in the tray with mesquite and Jack Daniels wood chips I had soaked in water for 30 minutes. I added water to the area around the bowl. After it warmed to 275 plus, I put the drunken chicken on one of the racks. It took 3 hours with the temp ranging from 200-275. During the three hours I added wood chips and lots of water. It was so worth it because the chicken came out soo moist and yummy.
