Can't say I've ever heard of that.  Sounds wickedly good!

All good things fellas

Ended up going with just a little bit more than the beer can chicken…

[Wrestleknownothing]

With great trepidation I post my chicken after @WrestlingRasta has posted his.

45 minute brine with Kosher salt and garlic flakes. Canola oil and pepper before going on the grill. Used a Meater+ (sticking out of large breast) to control temp and determine doneness. Basted with bbq sauce from a local restaurant during the last 20 minutes.

Was delicious. Did a brown sugar rub after sousing it for 36 hrs. 3 hrs on the Webber. The sous kind of makes it fool proof which is nice with brisket

Not sure of the intrepidation. Those legs actually look better than that whole chicken.

Looks pretty freaking tasty WKN. And those potatoes!

Good eye. The legs were the star of the show.

Going for a postprandial stroll with wife. I look forward to seeing you when I return.

Beef short ribs. They aren’t as dry than they look. This was the first cut. Taste was good but I would have preferred to get them on 8 hours, but can’t really justify doing the smoker that long for basically one plate of food.

Those look killer! I'm actually more of a fan of beef ribs, and they always look "dry,"  but never are.

Those look great brother!

I would NEVER have imagined a meat smoking thread would have been this successful.

It's a really good one. Well done. (Yes, I meant to say that.)

I would love to make that.    I have two briskets leftover.   I'm getting hungry, except for the Fair food I ate yesterday.   But I'm getting there.  

Since this is a thread on smoking, and I don't know what sousing is, can you explain please?  That looks soooooo good!

In my opinion the biggest game changer for chicken (at least white meat) is to soak it in a brine or inject with a brine. I keep my brines simple and just boil water with salt, pepper and sugar. I let the brine cool and then typically inject the chicken before cooking it. Give it a shot and it will be the juiciest, most delicious chicken you have ever made.

What are the odds I would have a graph?

 

 

 

[Wrestleknownothing]

I went a little past well done to keep the wife happy, but it was still real juicy because of the brine.

Also, the whole time it was indirect heat. Started with all burners on, then turned one off and put chicken skin side down there for 15 minutes. Flipped and opened occassionally to baste.

Yes it does. The sous simplifies everything but the taste is out of this world. You won’t find juicier meat. Seems weird until you try it then you won’t go back. Steaks roasts loins all are amazing. Probably my fav is reheating a rack of ribs. Juicier and more tender, I add butter and a squirt of bbq seal it and freeze till ready.
