    I made my own Munsey

    All my friends love the Smoked Chicken.

    I smoke them while cooking them on a Rotisserie in a hooded BBQ over Volcanic rocks using Manuka sawdust. Effectively Hot smoking with a smoke generator.

    I start by wiping the raw chicken dry then leaving it in the fridge overnight giving it another quick wipe before placing it on the Rotisserie. I think this helps with the overall smoking process.

    I then cook the chicken on the BBQ using the convection method at 170c for 30mins then dropping the temp to 140c until cooked.
    I judge the chicken as cooked when I get a temperature of 165c in the thickest part of the breast using a digital temperature probe.
    I keep the smoker going for the full cooking time.
    Once cooked I plate the chicken up and loosely cover it with foil for about ten minutes then it's ready to serve hot or remove the tin foil allow to cool and serve it cold the next day.
    You can add any rubs or herbs etc that you like.
    Chilli and Lime is nice, Rosemary & Garlic is always good and Chinese five spice is another goody.

    Bloody nice on sandwiches too.

    Cold smoked Hard boiled eggs are a favourite too.
    Hard boil the egg to your liking, allow to cool and remove the shell.
    Place the eggs in your smoke house and cold smoke them for a 30mins to an hour.
    I use a rack made out of a small length of 4x2 with small holes drilled into it that fit tooth picks. Stick a tooth pick into the egg then place the toothpick into holes make sure the egg is not touching the 4x2

    Cold or Hot Smoke nut are also delicious.
    Just spread the nuts out on some foil and place them in your Hot or Cold smoker

    Try different woods for different flavours
    Apple wood and Grape wood are very good light smokers

    Cheers
    Pete

    I was looking at one at the Sika show when the Indian chef next door set fire to an LPG bottle. I decided to run forest run, so didn't get a price or info!

    Cook it however you usually cook chicken.

    If you liked the cheese you'll really like the chicken.

    I have been looking at building a smoke house out of untreated pine and been trying to think of a way to power the bastard been tossing up between charcoal, LPG burner but one of those cold smoke doohickeys would be ideal.
