You want the meat to stay between 40 and 140 for less than 4 hours

Also I recommend Spatchcocking or butterfly the bird. When you cut the back out and flatten out it will cook more evenly and it will cook faster. Your white meat will not be overdone.

I also recommend a dry brine vs a wet brine. Wet brines were all the rage 5-7 years ago but with more testing and trial and error people have found it does not introduce better flavor into the bird it just makes them moist and flavorless.

A dry brine will pull flavor into the bird and the salt will help the bird retain its own natural moisture and keep it from drying out. You can dry brine for 24 up to 72 hours before cooking.

I like smoked meats! I do pork shoulders, turkeys, chickens, ribs, steaks. fish you name it in smokers.
So for a 14 pound bird, what temp and how long do you recommend?

I would butter fly it. Cut the back out and flatten it. Dry brine for 24 -72 hours and then cook in the smoker at 275-300 until the breast is 150°F and the legs register at least 165°F, 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours.

I’m a big pork chop fan. However, I don’t find many folks smoking them. Anyone here?

never tried it since the wifey pan fries it. I think there's not enough fat on pork chops and probably would dry out. i'm just guessin

I like pork loin, pork tenderloin, basically boneless chops.

Pork loin and chops are very lean, not great for smoking. If you want some smoke on it you can start off smoking and reverse sear them.

Pork can also benefit from brine, but its not necessary.

Pork chops are too delicate to try and smoke. I mean they pan fry and grill in minutes.
I guess it would take some trial and error.

My wife picked me up this "Project Smoke" book for a bunch of smoking recipes. It looks pretty amazing - have you seen it / have it?

They even have desserts for the smoker. Like Smoked Bacon-Bourbon Apple Crisp. Or double smoked whiskey turkey.

I'm looking forward to trying it out in the spring.

Going with charcoal for myself. Just waiting for it to go on sale...maybe Black Friday there will be a deal.

Going to be a while before temperature is nice enough to use it though, so I'm in no hurry. I'll wait for what I think is the best deal, or maybe a nice one will pop up on Kijjiji.

Looks awesome, TXSTYLE. Mouth-watering, even. But that's more food than Wifey and I could eat in a week if we had it every day. That's always been our issue with BBQ/smoking. It's just not worth the effort for the two of us.

Very valid point. I will do a 25 pound brisket and eat it for a few days, then get sick of it. Then my wife will make chili and used the cubed brisket for the meat.

But yes, ideally, you need a group. Brisket, in my opinion, is best the first day.

^^ That's a great point too. Leftover meat in general, I'm not too big on. But especially chicken. The gaminess flavor comes thru even more so when reheated. But Smoked Brisket... I can munch in it for days!

We are hosting Christmas Eve, and home on Christmas day.

I am working on the menu too, I have done a Beef Tenderloin that was awesome, I'll probably do that again. I have definitely upped my game and my equipment since then.

I don't have a head count yet, it is just my wifes family and could be a smallish group, if so I may do individual steaks, but that is not likely.

Black Friday I woke up early and it seemed like we had frost on the cars. I was about to go put my grill away. Then I touched it and it was only dew.


Whew, dodged another bullet.
