British BBQ Society Forums

Hi All,

Been inspired by what I have seen on here and Facebook to finally buy a 'proper' smoker. So after research I am now the proud owner of a ProQ frontier. I also have a maverick et733 from my 'rushed in, didn't think purchase of a weber 47' that hasn't really done what I wanted but keeping for burgers etc.

I want to try a basic smoke this Sunday, not *too* long just to see how it goes. The proq manual suggests a simple chicken but want to be a bit more adventurous than that but don't really wanna go more than 4 /5 hrs.

Absolutely any opinions welcomed.

Cheers
Paul

Paul,
Welcome old chap, really with the time you have a chicken is your best bet, you could perhaps get some baby back ribs done in the time but you might run over.....and a good smoke roast chicken is bloody lovely.

Couple more hours and a pork shoulder is most forgiving, the Value range in larger Tescos are top value to practice on and make very decent pp.

Good luck old lad.
Cheers
Tiny

Thanks.

Will definitely try that kebab chicken but gonna go with a smoked chicken. Any advice on wood and any rub or marinade?

Thanks again.

Welcome to the forum. Nowt wrong wi doin a chicken. Not a lot beats the smell of jerk/ Caribbean chicken on there. As previously mentioned try some baby back ribs n maybe a fatty to help with seasoning the new barbecue

Hi. Im also in glossop and have also today purchased the proq frontier elite. Made the same decision that the weber kettle isnt quite the right tool for the type of cooking i have been preferring.

Have you had any luck sourcing local wood? Not getting anywhere.

I would go baby backs. 225 degrees f. 2-2-1.
