2 weeks ago I smoked a chicken for the first time. First time using my smoker at all actually. I tried the beer can chicken method, except I used Brisk iced tea like I saw on BBQ U (Steve Raichlen). It didn't turn out so good. I overcooked it, and it definitely lacked in flavor. Most directions I saw said to smoke the chicken for 3-4 hours. After 3 hours I checked it and it was up to 190 internal temp. Way too hot! So next time I guess I'll brine the chicken and cook it for 1.5-2 hours. Also, the smoke flavor was so strong I couldn't imagine using wood to increase it.
