Chicken Breast first time on my pellet grill

[DaveXDm9]

I set my temp to 300 and cooked my chicken breast to the proper temp using Lumber Jack Blended pellets. They came out perfect and juicy then best chicken breast I have had in a long time.

I have never cooked breast in my pellet grill I always used my charcoal grill so now I know to use the PB now.

Why did you use 300F ? I did chicken breasts on the smoke setting, and it took a while to get it to temperature, but it was sure good. I used Cherry pellets.

Well I did not want to over smoke as sometimes poultry can come to smokie at times. 300 is perfect temp that will cook it bit faster than smoke, but keep it from becoming dry. It just a preference I used in my cooking life and never looked back.

I'll look at my "meatheads log" tomorrow, but from memory it was 2 hours on S to get to 165F.
