Seeing as how it is upland bird season, I am curious if anyone has a good reccipe and technique for smoking pheasants and quail. What wood would compliment the gamey birds and how long do they need to cook? please help!!!

thanks all

Looks like you're not getting any responses. There has been some past discussion, see this search result:

Hi. I brined a couple of pheasant recently- like the apple brined turkey method - and smoked them on vertical roaster things in a roasting tin - temp 350° F. Waited until the breast hit 160 F and they were super.

I'd use Apple or Cherry wood.
