Smoked Chicken Thighs
I have always been a strong advocate of keeping your wood pellet smoker grill as clean as possible for each and every cook. As such I always replace the heavy duty foil covering my heat shield pan and shop vac out any ashes in the fire pot & interior surfaces of the grill pit. If you’ve ever smoked/cooked poultry you have found that by the time you’re done there is quite a bit of grease/drippings everywhere from all the chicken fat that is melted during the cook. In order to facilitate the cleaning process I am using a heavy duty foil boat to cook the chicken thighs and trap all that grease/drippings. Check out all that grease that would normally collect on your heat shield rather than the foil boat. Besides, all that grease/drippings are ideal for a fantastic chicken gravy.
