APPLE WOOD SMOKED CHICKEN AND DIY STOVETOP SMOKER
I'm sharing one of my favorite cooking projects with you! A couple of years ago I purchased a 12" stockpot and transformed it into a smoker. I had used tabletop smokers in the past, but most were too shallow, limiting the types of food I could use. This is a cold smoker in that it will not cook the food, only add smoked flavor....

Steps:
- 1. Place one cooling rack in the bottom of the pot. Sprinkle a layer of wood chips, (approximately 1/4 cup) to lightly cover the bottom surface.
- 2. You may also add herbs if desired, use those with a hard stem, such as rosemary or thyme.
- 3. Place the pie pan over the rack, then position the remaining rack on top of the pan.
- 4. Now add the food you will be smoking on top of the rack and cover with the lid. Place the pot on the stove over medium high heat. Within a minute the wood chips will start to smoke (lift the lid just slightly to check), then turn the heat down to medium low, and smoke for 3-8 minutes, depending on the amount of food you are smoking and the type of food.
- 5. Remove the food from the smoker and finish on the grill or in the oven. Here I smoked a chicken using applewood chips and rosemary for about 6 minutes. After removing from the smoker I coated the chicken with softened garlic butter, and seasoned generously with salt and pepper.
- 6. Here is the 5 lb. chicken after roasting at 400 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. Applewood smoked chicken with garlic and rosemary!
