I can follow those directions.

There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.
You probably wouldn't get apples in many years at 8100 ft. My commercial orchard was in Palisade at 7450 ft. But I have seen some very small orchards in the old Big Thompson Canyon that grew apples around 7250 ft. Same with Loveland, Lyons, and Canyon City, it's the late spring freezes that kill the buds.
We often use the smoker as outdoor oven, BBQ(low and slow not grilling), slow cooker etc. More than half its usage doesnt involve smoking as we also use it as dehydrator/dryer for meats. That being said just the "seasoning" aquired during smoking sessions impart just the right hint of smoke.
Spatchcocked chicken and turkey in particular favorites for us.
Mrs bo really likes her bird slow roasted and basted like 12 times til home made BBQ sauce is glazed thick gooey stick to your teeth.
Spatchcocked turkey with leg quarters removed and cooked seperatley with different baste/marinade. Breast will get the BBQ sauce treatment. Ready to go for tomorrow.
Mrs bo also claims will have apple pie(GK smoker recipe) ready to cook as well.
Hopefully can remember post after pics before devoured or packed for freezing.![]()

We decided against sauce at last minute to accomodate left over recipes.
Marinade/brine
Leg/thigh quarters - Kentucky Bourban/molasses
Breast/wings - Sweet Heat w/ garlic and onion![]()
Some ribs for dinner. Took a picture at the beginning and was too hungry to take one at the end!

Flat Iron from King Doops. Dry brine then a light coat of rub.
Smoke tube with alternating hickory pellets and chips for three hours. Then a quick sear on a cast iron grate to bring it up to about 135 degrees.
