I am just getting into smoking. What temp did you smoke at? Do you use a meat thermometer? How long until that chicken was done? I have only smoked ribs and brisket and they were fantastic. Would like to go a shoulder and more ribs soon. Chicken thighs are certainly on the short list

i usually smoke@230f, i've found that works best on my smoker. and definitely use a meat thurmometer.

Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's both have a pretty extensive smoking section if you're close to one. You can always shop there online too. I've surprisingly gotten some awesome rubs and sauces there along with a good variety of chips.

Home Depot and Lowes also have extensive grilling/smoking areas.

I have some smoking tubes for my Grill, whats a good thing to try first to smoke ? Was thinking a pork roast , chicken legs ?

replying to you but really for anyone...

Anyone have a good source for wood chips? I was very surprised at how many wood chips I went through when smoking brisket and ribs

lots of places sell chips and pellets. home depot. lowes, walmart ect. i use the chips, so i don't think brand matters as wood chips go, but pellets are are different. i've heard that alot aren't very good, and you use alot more with some brands, as opposed to others.

I use wood chips also. Hickory, Mesquite, Cherry, Apple, Pecan have all been used depending on protein choice.

2/3 Cherry and 1/3 Mesquite blend with a brisket done with coarse salt and cracked black pepper only. 225 until desired doneness (med rare i did) then wrapped in foil in a cooler for 1 hour was melt in your mouth good. One thing to remember is when you do that to a brisket it will cook a little further while wrapped in the cooler.

You ever try the Jack Daniels chips made from the whiskey barrels? Pretty great unique flavor.

anything that doesn't take a long time. chicken, pork chops, sausage. depending on what your grill uses for fuel, you can use up a propane tank trying to smoke a pork shoulder or a brisket easily. if you use charcoal their is a method, called the snake method to control the temp, and do longer smokes. the most important thing is the even temp.

I knew you would approve!

I highly recommend to to anyone who has a chance to go to one of these types of Brazilian restaurants, to do it.

You've got options in Philly Lou. Fogo de Chao and Chima are both in the city and then there's Picanha up on Castor Ave. I've never been to Picanha but heard great things. The other two are fantastic. Not cheap though...

Took my Dad there for Fathers Day one year it wasn't too expensive. I was having meat sweats for hours and could barely walk when I got up to go home. I avoided the Salad/Sides and went all in on meat and pineapple.

Did Fogo in Scottsdale, it was wicked. Phil Lou would be in HEAVEN

We have an independent one here called Carnivale, it is awesome.

Rodizo is so much fun. Just an awesome evening of gluttony. I’d like to pump up na brasa which is in willow grove across from the old naval air base. Same cuts and quality as in the city, cheaper and you don’t have to pay for parking. Plus they are in the same building and under the same ownership as the iron abbey, which is a top flight beer bar. You reap benefits both ways. The restaurant gets access to the beer; the bar has a Brazilian rotisserie platter of the favorite cuts of meats.
