He prepared the charcoal in his small grill. You set it on fire and make sure the briquettes turn white. This keeps your meat from getting that charcoal lighter fluid taste. Put Apple wood (or other preferred wood) in with the white charcoal briquettes. Let the wood become ignited and it starts to smoke. Then transfer coals and wood to the smoker box in the big grill. Meanwhile turn on the gas burners and get the grill up to 300F. Don't place the chicken directly over the gas burner flames and have the grill rack 16" from the flame. Put the lid down and let cook 4 leg quarters for 4 hours. DO NOT CHECK the inner temperature of the chicken with a probe thermometer as it punctures the meat and lets the natural juices out and the chicken will be dry. When you think they are done, then turn off the gas, open all the dampers and let it sit and cool naturally. This gives it time to rest.

4 leg quarters, thawed
No marinating
Rub with black pepper, celery salt, paprika, chile powder
Mist with olive oil
Place the leg quarters 16" from gas flame and NOT directly over the flames.
Smoke for 4 hours (don't open the lid a lot as that loses the heat and makes it take longer).

Pull chicken from the bone, remove the skin, and chop finely.

1/2 cup horseradish sauce (Inglehoffer)
1 cup mayonnaise (Duke's)
2 tsp garlic powder
