Equipment

  • smoking wood chips
  • digital smoker thermometer

Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp BBQ rub

Toppings

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 4 tbsp chives diced
  • crumbled bacon optional
  • shredded brisket optional

Instructions

  • Fire up your smoker to 250°F (121°C). If you are using a charcoal grill, ensure you set up for 2-zone indirect grilling.
  • Prepare your potatoes by washing and scrubbing them well to remove dirt. Pierce each potato with a fork several times, all over.
  • Apply a thin layer of olive oil over the potatoes. Then, apply a generous amount of BBQ rub to each potato.
  • Place potatoes on smoker grates. Close lid and smoke for 3-4 hours, or until internal temperature is 200-210°F (93-99°C). At this point, you should be able to insert a fork into the potato with little resistance.
  • Remove potatoes from the smoker and serve immediately with your choice of toppings.
