| Saturday I picked up my new smoker and Monday I got the smoker going.
Once up to temp I threw a couple chickens in. One with a herb, salt, and pepper rub. The other had a nice bbq rub.
Soon the thin blue was rolling and I found this smoker held a very steady temperature. Very nice.
Hours later the chickens were looking good!
Stripped some corn of its silk, rubbed with butter and seasoned with salt and pepper.
The chicken came out nice and the legs pulled off easy.
The final plate. Smoked chicken and corn on the cob. Add in a kale/mushroom saute and a tasty meal was had.

| | next time you do some chickens get a can of beer . any beer will do , but i like to use bud lite with lime . fill the can about 3/4 full and insert it into the chicken , first rub the chicken with olive oil then put on some dry rub and cut a onion in to 4ths and put a piece in the chickens neck .. and smoke standing up right .. they sell some stands at home depot/lowes really cheap. better known as beer can chicken or drunken chicken .. |

| | I have the larger version of that smoker. I love it! It will hold a steady 250 all day. I split my chickens and lay flat when I smoke them. Just a way I started doing them. Not sure if it makes and diff. Yours sure look good!

| Spyder,
The way you are splitting them is called Spatchcock. It is actually a good way to cook. Speeds up the process.
Post some picts of your smokes and some recipes!

| | Vlap, I've got a whole bird in the fridge, but had a question before I toss her on the smoker. Did you wrap or cover the bird with foil while on the smoker or just toss them in and let them soak up the smokey goodness?

| Put it right in there. No need to foil.

| | some things to try with beer butt chicken as you said.........get some olive oil on the bird and generously cover in rub use 1/2 to 3/4 can beer and add two or three crushed garlic cloves in the beer stick something in the neck hole.............I use a wedge of orange or onion and finally, drape bacon strips across the top to keep the chicken's juicy smokey goodness it's truly wonderful............do two or three at a time because you will just want to keep eating. |
