Whole chickens

[gusibole]

Well, today I will be doing two whole chickens! Still learning the new smoker.
Last week did Brisket and pork butt. Both turned out most excellent.
Let see what happens with the chicken!

Ok, 4 hours later we have a finished product.
It looks good.

looks amazing Gusible, did you do a brine and rub, or ?got five chickens in the freezer waiting there turn on the smoker ride, Dc will be along soon, so you might wanna have his care package ready lol

[gusibole]

OK,
I may be a wee bit partial because it was on a smoker I built,
but as I sit here with FULL BELLY, I must say "HOT DANG that was GOOD"!
I read on another page that cooking chicken any other way than "low and slow"
should be illegal. As of this moment I FULLY AGREE!
As for brine or rub, here is all that I did:
Equal parts butter and soy
pepper
Melted butter into soy, added black pepper
put in bowl, let chickens go for a short swim
250 four hours and MAGIC HAPPENS!


OK I am a little giddy!

Damn them look good!
That is all i can say, gotta eat now.

, what fuel did you use?, I`m about to do 16 chicken thighs and 20 drumsticks!

[gusibole]

Maple for fuel and added some mesquite chunks at the very beginning!

[maccas66]

The way I see things!, the flavour smoke would be best at the begining of the cook, but alot say at the end!, anyone wish to chime in?

[gusibole]

I always use flavor smoke in the beginning before the meat, for a lack of a better term, seals up!

More to this subject than meets the eye ....

I would suggest running the stronger wood (hickory, mesquite, ash) first. I only use these in smaller doses (less than 1/3) in my wood mix and that puts this flavor in first so it shows up last as you bite into it. Follow that with the fruitier woods so they are the first smoke you taste. If you're using wood chips over charcoal in your firebox then just pre-blend the chips and don't worry about it... fwit
