So I smoked some chicken legs using the Peterson Pucks, and they worked great! I brined the legs, coated them with a dry rub, and used four maple pucks in my model #1.
Smoked the legs for several hours, and the pucks performed beautifully the whole time. In fact, when the cook was done and I removed the smoker box, three of the four pucks were depleted, but one was still almost 50% intact! It stared up at me as if to say, "Put me back in, Coach! I've got more!"
Flavor was excellent. Smoky-sweet, bold but not overpowering at all. Honestly, these are the best legs I've ever done.
I will definitely be buying more pucks, and recommend them highly.
Cheers!
