Smoked Chicken take 2

Posted by Synfinatic on September 30, 2007 at 8:51 pm in Smokey!.

This is my first blog post for my smoker log. My goal is to keep a record of what I cook, how I cook it and how it turns out.

One chimney of hot coals. Smoker was placed in the shade, outdoor temp was mid-70s. Initially was running too hot (near 300F) before I put the chicken on, so I splashed a little water on the coals to bring the temp down. Two medium pieces of cherry for two 3.5lb chickens. Recipe calls for cooking 3:30-4hrs @ 200-220F.
