Guys, guys... Guys!...
I cant even describe how happy I am with my first try at smoking a whole chicken. Success is an understatement. Look at this crap...
Put a rub on Saturday night...
Two hours in...
4 1/2 hours, and at a perfect 165°...
Resting...
Aaaaaaand a leg for good measure...
Hickory smoked, and with the onion stuffed inside as well, thanks for the tip there CNS. No apple just because I forgot to get one.
Also, for anyone who doesnt have a digital remote thermometer, go get one. This was so much easier and more accurate because of that wonderful little gadget. The dome thermometer was anywhere from 25-75° off at any given moment. Okat, I'll shut up now.
