PTG Cornish Game Hens

So now it is time to put the new PID I installed in the PTG to the test

Started with a couple hens...



Now on a side note the vacuum tumbler I just bought is a cheap one that uses a hand operated pump for creating vacuum in the canister. So I made up a little adapter using parts I found in the garage to make an adapter for my Foodsaver accessory port to use. Works like a charm...





So back to the cook. Add the hens to the vacuum canister....



Add 1 cup Wishbone Vinaigrette, 1 cup water, and 2 teaspoons of M-3...



20 minute tumble...





Then a thorough rinse and pat dry...



Then some oil on the skin, smoked salt and Rosemary...



continued...

PTG preheated to 350F with Cherry pellets...



And on we go...



After 50 minutes they reached 145F IT. I then cranked up the PID to 400F for the finish until the IT was 160F...





continued...

Plated with Chicken Alfredo Pasta with Shrimp...









The PID worked flawlessly! I adjusted the timing to create some higher temp swings for more cherry smoke. The hens were great. This little cooker is gonna be great for camping

Looks great buddy! Nice job.

Looks Great, Man if I was smart enough to rig up one of those PID things. I might be able to make my Traeger usable!!! That'd be pretty damn sweet!
