Great smokin Marcus. Welcome to the club. Fish is amazing on the smoker. Having come from the northeast, I like to flaunt our great Florida weather for fun on occasion. Hopefully your temps will be changing soon.

Arnie, tell us again how great it is in July and August. And include the humidity levels when you remind us.  ;)

Ah Tony, that's the best time of the year for fishing, boating, and swimming. Also, extremely high air conditioning bills...lol

Let's get back to talking about my great chicken

Oh, I guess! ;)   One thing you'll find around here, DT, is a lot of our posts turn into a talk about our great Q, and a little conversation among friends.  No problem with bringing us back on topic!  The more you're with us, the more you'll get used to it.  lol!

OK, one question I had was about "took out the backbone and breastbone;"  in the "done" picture, the breast looks to be very much intact.  How did you remove the breastbone, and keep the chicken looking like that?  When you spatchcock a bird, it folds in the middle, so I'm curious about this.  I'd love to be able to remove the breastbone and have a chicken that looks that good!

The chicken appears to have the breast bones in tact because I rolled the bird and smoked it in that position.  There are many videos on You Tube to show the breast bone removing process and I watched a few of them. Skin is the only thing holding the bird together.

Okay, with that said, let's get back to talking about the weather. To hell with the chicken. We are scheduled for 36 degrees next week.

WHOA! Summer is almost here.

My deep freezer is thawing... Just glad it's my outdoor one! I was starting to wonder if we would ever see outdoor warmth again.

I'll have to try that technique, DT!  Never thought of rolling a spatchcocked bird before!

It's not just the smell that attracts people.  When I have the smoker in front of my garage, the cars slow down as they pass by. I am going to have to lock down my #3.
