As I continue my learning curve I decided to smoke a couple of Rock Cornish Game Hens.\u00a0 A little $pricey$ @ $3.34 a lb considering what you can get chickens for but what the heck, I’ve always wanted to smoke a couple of these and after all, need to add to my repertoire\u00a0 \"Smiley\"<\/p>\n

Here are the little guys ready for processing
\n\"\"
\nDid some research on line and chose to remove the backbone for easier smoking
\n\"\"
\nRubbed each one with some Roasted Garlic EVOO<\/a> and some Poultry Seasoning.\u00a0 Ready to go in
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Preheated to 250\u00baF and using 2 hours of Cherry<\/a>.\u00a0 Put em in 45 minutes ago.\u00a0 The ambient temp was 70\u00baF with a light breeze.\u00a0 The IT of the hens when inserted was 57\u00baF.\u00a0 Going to pull them at 170\u00baF and FTC them for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

Finished and devoured the Cornish Hens\u00a0 \"Grin\"
\nPulled them when the IT hit 170\u00ba and FTC for 20 minutes.\u00a0 Took 4 hours and 20 minutes to reach IT of 170\u00ba.\u00a0 Controlled the OBS with my Auber PID at a temp of 250\u00ba.\u00a0 Don’t know how or why I ever smoked without my PID!!!<\/p>\n

Here they are before FTC.\u00a0 The skin was actually eatable
\n\"\"
\nThe money shot …\u00a0 A little rice and salad …\u00a0 Enjoy
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Lessons learned:<\/p>\n

First time I used Cherry<\/a> bisquettes.\u00a0 Found them to be rather mild.\u00a0 Maybe cause there was only 2 hours of smoke.\u00a0 Either longer smoke or different bisquettes.\u00a0 Guess I’m becoming a smoke eater\u00a0 \"Grin\"
\nAt least now I can better plan dinner knowing that I need about 5 hours<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
