Super easy smoked chicken thigh recipe. A quick brine and then about an hour and a half cook and you will have some delicious chicken. I hope you give this recipe a try!
Brine 4-5 hrs 2 C Water 1/3 - 1/2 C Honey 1/2 C Italian Salad Dressing 2 T Salt
Rub 2 T Light Brown Sugar 1 T Turbinado Sugar 1 t Garlic Powder 1 t Onion Powder 1 t Ground Ginger 1 t Cumin 1 t Kosher Salt 1 t Freshly Ground Black Pepper 1 t Ancho Chili Powder 2 t Paprika
This is a great way to use up some garlic scapes. This dip packs a bit of spice with it....so I have been told. Omit the cayenne for a milder dip. Pretty much any type of garlic and onion combination will do really well with this recipe.
A bunch of Garlic Scapes 3 Shallots 1/2 t Salt 1/2 Celery Salt 1/2 t Fresh Cracked Pepper 1/4 t White Pepper 1/4 t Cayenne
Roast garlic scapes and shallots over indirect heat for about 20 minutes. Chop up and add sour cream and spices. Mix well and refrigerate over night - 2 days is best.
This is a super easy smoked beef on weck recipe. I did this cook on a Weber 22.5'' grill with the smokenator. It was so good I am planning on doing it again very soon. Beef on Weck is a variation of a french dip...but better! I hope you give this one a try!
Kimmelweck Rolls (like kaiser buns with caraway seeds and salt crystals on top) Eye of Round Roast Salt and Pepper or Beef Rub (I was experimenting with my own rub on this cook) 2 Cups of beef stock - preferably homemade
Season eye of round roast with salt and pepper or your favorite beef rub. Add drip pan with water and beef stock to a preheated 225ish degree grill. Grill indirect at 225 for about 2 hours or until the internal temp is 130 degrees. Wrap and let rest heat grill to a searing temperature. Remove drip pain and boil liquids until reduced by 75%. Sear all sides of the roast while jus is reducing. Season jus if necessary.
Here is the first time I fired up my newly finished Mini WSM. Went for about 5 hours strong at 225. I removed the lid once at 3 hours and it took about 10 minutes to come back to temp. At the 5 hour mark I had to knock the ash off the coals. The temp came back up really quickly and leveled at 230 until I shut it down at 7 hours.
When it was running at 230 the top of the dome was about 260.
Throw this marinade on some bone in chicken for about 5 hours for some really good chicken! This recipe does about 10lbs of legs/thighs. I hope you give this one a try!

Total Cook for this brisket was about 9 hours. Salt, pepper, beef and low and slow smoke....what else could you want. I hope you give this easy brisket recipe a try.
1 Brisket Salt Black Pepper Wood for smoking - I used Hickory and Apple (would have preferred oak on this one)
Mix salt and pepper. 60% Salt and 40% Pepper. Sprinkle all over the brisket.
Stabilize grill temperature at 250. Cook for about an hour a pound. Wrap if the skin is getting dark. Cook until a toothpick slides right in.
