Yes, as I said, stone the heretic.

After nearly 40 years of smoking, I'm comfortable with my methods. Never had anyone get sick or even have tummy upset at all.

Probably has a lot to do with how you learned. My Mom washed everything from the grocery too with the same good results.

There are the standard things you must do with poultry, even before it gets to the grill/smoker.

I will be the heretic and say I don't cook my chicken to 165F. I personally think that leads to dry chicken. I shoot for 155 and remove it. As you know, temps will climb a bit from there as it rests. Been doing this for years with no ill effects on anyone that has eaten chicken I've cooked.

PDC7,

Wow! You are going to cover some ground! Driving or flying to see all of that? Makes a difference in things to see if you drive.

One thing about Texas Que though is that nowhere ...
