Drum sticks have been on special at a local grocery store almost all summer, so I've been eating a lot lately. Your recipe serms perfect. Thanks.

I have never brined chicken legs before, but sounds interesting and will give it a try. I will have to try and find that Pabst IPA, I love trying new beers. Good color on those chicken legs. You have a beautiful family, I am a big family man myself. Great cook brotha!!

[@SmokingBBQ]

[@NanasCookingcraftcorner]

Hello nice to meet you fromt he livestream. Recipe looking awsome. Nice video.

[@SmokingBBQ]

Nice to meet you as well. Will definitely be checking out your mac and cheese video, it is one of the only things my daughter can eat, besides food via her feeding tube. Thanks for watching.

[@user-hd9qm7td7n]

Looks great. Maybe I missed it but what was the total cook time for those on your PBC ?

[@SmokingBBQ]

Did this video a few years ago, so I can't remember the exact cooking time. Cook till they reach 166 degrees, probably will take 1 1/2-2 hours total cooking time. Thanks for stopping by!

[@AceHetland]

What temp is chicken done?

[@SmokingBBQ]

Chicken is done at 170-175 degrees.

[@THEREALSHOWBBQ]

That's a great brine for chicken. Those chicken legs turned out great bro. Thw PBC never fails.

[@SmokingBBQ]

Thanks for stopping by! I enjoy your videos. Your video convinced me I needed a Member's Mark Kettle Grill! But I have no regrets, it has served me well.

[@THEREALSHOWBBQ]

Smo'King BBQ Tips & Recipes Thanks bro. I like it. It does a a good job. But I definitely prefer my Webers. Have a great week bro.

[@sanchez071581]

What was temperature you cooked?

[@SmokingBBQ]

The Pit Barrel Cooker usually runs between 275-310 degrees. Be more concerned with the temperature of the food, not the PBC. Good luck, and thank for stopping by!

[@OddRobb]

You must live in San Bernardino

[@SmokingBBQ]

Close. I live in Costa Mesa California. Thanks for stopping by!

[@OddRobb]

@@SmokingBBQ ah that makes sense. I remember growing up in IE San berdo was the only city to get fireworks for a long ways lol

[@SmokingBBQ]

@@OddRobb I can hear them almost every night when Disneyland sets them off as the park closes. Plus Costa Mesa allows fireworks in the city around the 4th of July, so something is always blowing up! Thanks again for watching!

[@markST24]

Can't see the point of them bars...They'd annoy the hell out of me...Great cook and nice finish...Gonna be trying this recipe out real soon on my barrel smoker...

[@jbbourbon178]

It’s not as bad as you’d expect. The fact that this smoker is honestly set and forget, it’s actually a pretty easy compromise. Plus, hanging ribs on the bars is so freaking sweet

[@CookinWithJames]

I always brine my whole chickens or chicken breast! never done drumsticks! That is great looking chicken! amazing job! new follower here! i did subscribe notifications on! i just started youtube. if you have a chance to check my channel out that would be great! keep up the great work!

[@jaymacklin8303]

I thought you said (BEER) NOT PISSBLU BEER!!

[@michealtzitz5038]

PBR is a MAN BEER! take your low carb light beer aka piss somewhere else hahaha. Dont forget to blow on those hot Cheetos to cool them.

[@joelynnminton8586]

Yeah that rebar really stabilizes the temp.........wtf

[@SmokingBBQ]

Yes, the rebar does stabilize the temp, as it was designed that way. If you leave the rebar out it will run much hotter.
