Smoking a Chicken

Smoked Chicken is one of my favorite dishes. I've got two five pounders in the fridge right now. I'm going to set my alarm for about 4 AM and put them in a brine for about 4 more hours, then smoke 'em for about 4 hours at 220 degrees. Mmmm... It's going to be delicious...!

Here's a photo of the finished result... It was pretty good even though I only had mesquite wood to use for my smoke... I prefer apple wood for my chickens...

These birds did take right at about 4 hours to cook. I added fuel to keep the temp steady, then turned and basted them about every 45 minutes....
