I'm partial to spicy. I really liked the jerk chicken. It was a marinade I got from a specialty store. It comes right from Jamaica. It was very good, but there was too much of a salty taste to it. The lemon pepper was very good as well. I took some chives from my garden and stuffed them under the breast skin. It had a very nice flavor as well. The BBQ was ok. Not spectacular. Don't know that I'd make it again. If I did, I would change it up, but I'm not sure how yet. Had good luck with the temperature this time. Moved the smoker to just barely outside of the garage. The shade helped a lot. I was able to keep a pretty steady 225* although I'm not so sure how accurate my thermometers are. I have one that is a deep fryer thermometer that I stick in the side of the drum and then I've got the wireless that has probes for both the meat and the smoker. I need to do some more research into an accurate system.

All in all, if I can find a jerk marinade that has less salt or find a good recipe that doesn't have such a salty taste, I'll be making that again. The lemon pepper, I'd do that again. I think it has a universal taste appeal. I vacuum sealed them all with the marinades last night and would massage it into the meat every few hours. Pretty happy with today's results. Lots of compliments from my guests.

BBQ is just smoke and beers!
Usually more beers than smoke.

Peter for a recipe check out the food network website and search Caribbean jerk chicken marinade - the more complicated the recipe you pick the more you'll be pleased... :D


And on the eighth day God created barbecue …. because he DOES love us and he wants us to be happy. :D
