I get by with help from my Brethren Friends. Today was a first. It was raining hammerhandles and pitchforks here. I posted this thread earlier today and received a wealth of replies.

The Wife (LuzziAnn) wanted smoked chicken. Here are the results:

Used this rub and sprayed the grills with Canola oil [Thanks Ray!]:

Thanks to the good info supplied, smoked the birds breast side down. Half a stick of butter in each cavity. Sorry for bad pic, was raining hard:

Off the WSM after 2.5 hours because I could not get the temp up. Ran about 280*F with a dry waterpan. Still looking good though. Hit about 170*F in deep breast:

Up close after plated. I was concerned about the skin. No worries:

LuzziAnn went to making skillet cornbread, chunk taters and pinto beans. Yeah, that'll work after a long day of smoking and watching football. :-D

Looking good, i'd say you've got it! I did a chicken in a Dutch Oven in a Dutchman's oven!:biggrin1:
 
Nice bird Dude! Those sides prepared by LuzziAnn look awesome as well.

It's really Good! It kicks Chicken. LuzziAnn said Thanks btw. :-D

My take on it is that it's different from others I've tried. NO sweet at all. Just a good favor balance without being over powering. Silverfinger turned me on to it. I've also used it on burgers with great results. Still learning all it's uses.
