I smoked a chicken recently. Spatchcocked it, applied Simon & Garfunkel rub, into the smoker, and finished on the grill to crisp the skin up.
It was marvellous, as was the smoked potato salad and grilled asparagus.

Smoked chicken
It’s the Labour Day long weekend here and I smoked a whole chicken. It was a big bird, a little over 8 pounds (3.5 kilos). I butterflied the bird, used a dry rub, went light on the smoke. It turned out not too bad.
Dinner was served.
A recent dinner: Smoked pork tenderloin, smoked mashed potatoes, scarlet runner beans from the garden with red pepper grilled in a foil packet, and picked-that-day grilled corn slathered with a mayonnaise and sriracha sauce aioli.
It was as good as it looks.

Clockwise from top. Warm potato salad featuring smoked potatoes; a stir-fry of chard and snap peas from our garden with red pepper; smoked pork rib; smoked pork loin; in the centre kale salad and celery, both from the garden, with pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries.
A wonderful meal.

From the smoker: back ribs, jalapeno cheddar sausage, potatoes transformed into potato salad. From the grill: romaine lettuce with bread crumbs. From the kitchen: Sliced and seasoned carrots.
Let there be brisket
I had the idea to smoke a beef brisket this weekend. So I ordered one up from our local meat packer, which buys its fresh meat from sources within a 100 mile radius. Opened the package yesterday and discovered that it will not all fit in the smoker. Here you see 1/2 of it, about five lbs. Rinsed and patted dry, a little salt and pepper sprinkled on it, coming up to room temperature. Now, off to start the smoker.
