First barbecue of the year

As the weather is fine, we have just enjoyed a mini barbecue of chili chicken wings and 97% pork sausages.

Andy, what's mine is yours, within reason!

Anyway, I've some to add myself, of the new smoker. I copied you for the first trial and did a chicken. After a relatively easy session of putting the new ProQ unit together, I lit the coals and filled up the water bowl.

My chicken was seasoned with salt and pepper only, no oil to speak of, as I wanted the smoke to permeate as much as possible. On it went at 230f with some hickory. I used some Sainsbury's charcoal to begin with and spent the next 5 hours pissing about with various types. I was trying to maintain a temp of around 225f and seemed to do ok considering it was my first run.

It was all worth it at the end. The chicken was ridiculously tender and had a prominent, yet light smoked flavour. Simply delicious.

Here's the pics:









Let's just say i am so pleased that I bought it and tomorrow shall see a 10 hour pork butt (shoulder) and another chicken as we are cooking for some friends.

I thought IT WAS David Dickinson!.....

It looks more like his wife come to think of it.
