I do rest my whole chickens, but only for about 15 minutes, and not under foil because I want the skin to stay as crisp as possible. Good luck, and welcome to the Brethren!

Take a breath!
I leave my chickens breast up and do not flip them. I do not like "grill marks" on the presentation side. Be gentle with the smoke-wood a little goes a long way.

Yeah, it's an addiction. I don't always get the opportunity - but I *want* to smoke something every weekend. (And, if/when I ever retire - it may be more often than that!)

Knows what a fatty is.
Does it qualify as an addiction when the grocery ads come and you want to look at them first to see what meats are on sale???

In the young folks vernacular " that's sick" means cool.

I like to add some aromatics in the cavity like 1/2 a quartered onion and fresh rosemary sprigs.
Breast side up, I don't flip, mainly for presentation purposes.
Brining is a great idea, I go 8 hours on yard birds. Get some rub under the skin and some evoo on the outside.
If you do foil while resting, tent it.. I've given up on "crisp" skin in the drum.
400* works for me..
Good luck!

Chickens were a hit! Thanks for all the help here. As I was hoping my wife didn't think it was so sick once she tasted the chicken, in fact as many of you said, she is looking forward to the next smoking project. I would add pictures but that is more of a challenge for me than building the smoker.
