I haven't tried cooking any, but I have eaten some of the best suckers, buffalo, bass and carp, I have ever tasted smoked using a smoker. They used hickory wood to cook it. These smokers can be bought at Wal Mart for very little dollars. They are on sale quite often. I have also tasted the best chicken ever ,that was cooked in one.

I have one of the smokers and tried smoking some beef steaks. I don't know what I did wrong. They had a great taste but was tough as leather. I have thought about getting some chickens and trying to smoke them like my friend did. Just haven't. Afraid I will mess them up like the beef steaks. :haha:
