First Chicken in SRG - It's OK to laugh
« Reply #-1 on: August 13, 2013, 08:45:03 AM »
Yesterday I tried my first chicken in the new SRG..you all may remember I wanted crispy skin on my poultry..well I got crispy.  The book says that after the bird had reached the desired level of brownness to open the lid...well as you can see in picture #2 I waited a little too long and it looks like it was shot our of the exhaust of a diesel truck.  But believe it or not the chicken was moist and as black as it was the skin still had a good taste...I rubbed with Mo Rockin" Chicken and took it to 165.  It only took about 1 hour and 10 mins and I had Pecan smoke going the entire time.

Side note is that the Lab in the first picture is Keelo who took first place in both the Open and Amateur divisions last Saturday in Tournament Hunting Competition at Ravenwood , Missouri.  She made enough points to achieve Amateur CHAMPION status so she is hard to live with now..wants a sign on her kennel, or over the couch..wherever she happens to be at the time

Question for the forum:  Could you put an A-Maze-N 12" tube in the bottom of the SRG under the basket?

Color looks great (for a brisket).  :D  Heck, I'd still eat it (skin and all).

The heat produced by the SRG is especially high - and will carbonize any sugars in a rub, or a sauce that you are using. My apologies MO - if I had thought to tell you this, you could have saved the looks of that chicken.

That infrared energy will burn any sugar just like in an oven broiler!

But it seals in the juices so well that the meat will still be juicy ;)

The SRG will burn sugar real fast so be careful with rubs and sauces. 

Your chicken will improve I bet so don't let this slow you down

As for an A-Maz'n tube it may not work due to the grease falling on it from the food,  BUT there is a fix for this coming soon Todd and I are working together and soon you be able to add a LOT of smoke to your meat!

Stay tuned cause this is the best mode yet!

Hello..I had them make me a 6" smoking tube. Works perfect in anything. The 12" may be a tight fit. The SRG is bigger than the TBE so you just have to try it. Pam  .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ

You'd never guess with skin that black that the meat inside would look so good -

Reminds me of some wings I did a few years ago - I left the top down for over an hour (ok I got distracted...  :-[ ) - they looked like lump charcoal. Unfortunately, wings don't have enough meat to salvage after they've been turned to carbon. They weren't even good for soft tacos OR cat food!
