Re: Home improvement folks - paint color quest

Can you get some small (pint) cans of different whites and paint sample areas to see what works???

Re: Smoking a chicken?

Oh, and my smoker has a thermometer built into the door - I try to keep the temp at 250...

Let us know what you think!

PS - this is how I do my turkey every year as well... smoker, breast down, for hours (I'd have to dig up how long). The breast meat is nice and moist.
