Some smoking

Looks good. We brine, then smoke, and there may not be anything better than a chicken or turkey!

Over the weekend, I did 2 small racks of ribs. I have tried straight thru, 3, 2, 1, and other various methods. But I now stick to one we like the most. I smoke till done/tender, then add sauce and put on the grille to caramelize/char a little. Fabulous!

I smoked asparagus wrapped in bacon too. Wow!

I've never done a whole chicken or turkey, but I do want to try it though.

I did chicken wings a few times. About 50% success rate on those. Either great or terrible with no in between.

I have one of those green-domed smokers and I enjoy smoking Pork Butts. I will sit outside tending the smoker and drink a few beers or soft drinks under the shade tree on the side of my house. My father had one when he was still alive. It's still sitting in his utility room where I'm typing this message. Mine is still back at my house in the garage. I'm at my parent's house right now helping to take care of mom after she fell last year and broke her left ankle badly. She was in rehab and had to leave the facility before her ankle healed completely. So I moved into her house to care for her I may either sell my house or sell her house depending on if she dies before I do or the other way around. She is 94 and I fell like I'm 99 going on 100 but I'm only 69. I have a bad heart and cancer. I brought two laptops to mom's house and had the Cable company set up an internet service here. So I have WiFi here at my parent's house now. It's very quiet here now that mom is at the rehab facility and it not asking me to do this or that for her. She needed constant supervision as well as she was showing signs of dementia at times. I was afraid that she would burn her house down. And she absolutely refuse to go to a nursing home. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.
