Briox Look into cheese cloth soaked in butter to drape over the chicken. We did this with the Thanksgiving Turkey and was the most moist, best turkey I’ve ever had in my 52 years!!! It was done in the oven, but will be trying in the smoker!

also, if was a wet marinade, damping of with paper towels before drying is a HUGE help!!

I’ve done 6+ batches of SS in my pitboss and all turned out excellant! Loved by all. I use a Ink Bird wireless temp probe and it tells me the actual temp in the smoker is about 15 degrees lower than what the smoker says

RJ Adventures yes

the only way i’ve ever done sticks or SS…Never went wrong!!!

Randyman look at the bradleys. seperate heating element…meat can only take so much smoke. save $ on pellets after 2 or 3 hrs!

jroby I’m finding going to 165 IT, ice bath, then wrap in a big fat towel before cutting to length and into the fridge for about 24 hrs before vacsealing works great. I also dry them really well before going into the fridge. I also use no more than 24 oz of water doing the same with 80/20 ground beef…turning out perfect!

Meatsweats cheap kitchen scale…google…and a smart phone with a calculator…
