Good morning,
I have a Little Chief smoker I bought for almost nothing at a garage sale, and I need to learn about it. Do these things actually cook food, such as salmon, trout, game birds, etc.? Or are they strictly for imparting a smoky flavor to meat, which is then cooked conventionally? For instance, I am thawing a half turkey breast from a tom I shot last spring. The breast is a little bigger than the largest chicken breast you'll find. If I smoke it for a couple of hours with wood chips, would I then need to stick it in an oven to cook conventionally? I'm primarily a bird hunter, so I would probably be smoking mostly chukar, quail and pheasant breasts, but what other things does a Little Chief do?
Thanks,
Cliff
