I finely tried brining some chicken! Then I Rubbed the bird with the sample from KCmike of the Oakridge BBQ Game & Chicken. I made my first Mop; hit'em every 30 mins. 3 hrs. @ 250 = NICE!!
The saucing can keep it from crisping, personally i just rub chicken the do a direct sear toward the end to crisp it up a bit, then mop with sauce and but back indirect for about another 15 min. Thats just my experience.
