What to put in the smoker this weekend?

The sear should help with the rubbery part.

Besides, it's Colorado, things dry out a bit quicker with this dry air.

The 30+ additional minutes at 350 is for the crispy skin. As Gman pointed out. Going to do that part in my oven I think. Last time I tried to finish something on the grill, I set a $70 brisket on fire three times in a row.

Just hit soopers. Got a whole chicken, want to spatchcock it. Never attempted to do so.

Also grabbed a pork shoulder. With working at home, I can babysit it. Got it here and realized I had another one in the freezer.

I'm dragging a pork shoulder out of the freezer right now.

smoke them after rubbing with some baking soda, let wings sit uncovered in fridge for 3-4 hrs. Throw on smoker @ 350 till done. Then crisp up the skin on grill. Franks red hot sauce and melted butter is the standard / basic sauce.

I often just throw them on at 350 for about an hour or so. Skin gets crispy enough if you don?t want to wait for them to get dry in the refrigerator

I think those fans really sped things up! I'll report to see how they come out. Costco let me buy two packs of those party wings, so I can try again in a week or two and make sure I have the time.

Decent kitchen/cooking shear makes quick work of it. We pretty much spatchcock all birds bigger than Cornish Hens.

I can never do Cornish Hens. There's just not enough there for me to go through the hassle.

Pat em down and give them an hour in refer and put em on.

I do em start to finish in the smoker. 1 1/2 - 2 hrs @ 275. Golden brown and tasty.

Great for family dinners, can easily do 6 at a time. The minions love it when they get there own "little chicken".
