I just did a bunch of chicken thighs yesterday. Used a couple different seasonings. I put a temp probe in a large piece and it took about 2-2.5 hours (at about 300 degrees). Oh my are they good!! And cheap. Wife found flats of 8-10 pieces for $3.50. This time I put a tin of peach juice where the heat comes into the chamber to humidify. Mulberry and apple for heat and flavor.
Chicken thighs or breasts? Breasts are better wrapped in bacon to keep them moist. Maybe just a piece or 2 of hickory with mulberry. Hickory works good with pork butter too.
I've always heard chicken is best smoked, not low and slow. I've done turkey breast before. It came out real good. I recall using some apple chunks on charcoal.
Smoked Turkey is awesome. I almost always do one Thanksgiving. Brine it a day ahead of time and it comes out perfect.
Mostly BS breasts, but have done thighs and wings in the past. What isn't better wrapped in bacon? I used to buy filet mignons wrapped in bacon, but the store stopped carrying them.
You should do a whole chicken the “beer can” way. There’s holders that place a can in the cavity and it moisturizes as it cooks. They are awesome.
