One of the school children chose smoked chicken for their birthday lunch so here we go – an introduction to hot smoking chicken. Of course being a Montessori school they had to do it for themselves starting with collecting the firewood and preparing the chicken!

Into the tumble drier smoking chamber!
Puffing away
Et voila! Poulet fume!
Here is a pilot version from the weekend:
