Pheasant breasts
BBQ rub
Bacon slices
Apple wood chips (soaked in water for at least 30 minutes before smoking)
Directions:
Directions:
Lightly sprinkle each bird with the DRY bbq seasoning all over the bird and inside the breast cavity.

Wrap each bird with enough thin cut bacon so that the entire bird is covered – usually 5-6 slices – this will keep the bird from drying on the surface during smoking process

Lightly sprinkle the DRY bbq seasoning all over the outside of the bacon covered birds

Heat smoker to 250. Put wood chips wrapped in foil in smoker. Place the birds in the smoker over indirect heat Smoke birds approximately 2 ½ hours. DON’T peak at the birds as you will let the heat out of the smoker .

After 2 ½ hours on the smoker, pull the biggest bird, and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast – If your temperature reading is 160 degrees or higher, you are done! If not, give them another half hour and you should be fine.

Remove the birds from the smoker, eat the best looking one, and let the rest of them cool. Wrap them in butcher paper and refrigerate the ones you are going to eat/give away in the next couple days, freeze the rest.ºº
