Jerry,
A couple of quick points... I ordered the Camco quick release
valve (with an on / off dial)... it fits the 5ver underside
quick release but the nipple for the hose attachment does not
match up ...so, need to locate a correct fit adaptor...(unless I'm
looking at it incorrectly ??? (entirely possible). As such could not use my grill.
The bird... 12 hr. brine... soy sauce/Kosher salt/sugar/herbs (thyme/
celery seed/sage). H20. Pat dry... hand rub with Canola oil.
Sm. bird (9 lb.) .... smoker --- mesquite x 3 1/2 hrs. total cook..
6.75 hrs., internal bird temp. ... 180. Pulled and wrapped in foil x
30 min. . Not exaggerating when I say it was very good. Tender , juicy, moist...evenly
done thru-out. Simple but effective. Only opened the smoker once to show a begging
fellow camper ! Ha ! Mercy ! next day samwhiches....mighty tasty.
I'll get the grill quick connect figured out... tried it straight from
the propane tank...(as expected) too low of pressure... a healthy sneeze would blow it out.
Do not expect I'll need a special regulator
as the (under 5ver) connection point is down stream from the propane tank regulator.
(I did look at the port hole... very small...would expect one of those long forgotten Physics Laws...
???
Bernoulli/Laplace/etc. is in effect. Hehehehehehe ! (someone will
be along shortly to re-educate me... ).
Man. I just love gettin' out there...anywhere.
