Newbie here... how long will it take to smoke chicken breasts?  I heard the fire should be around 325
 
Most people smoke chicken from 275 to 325,350...personally i go 275 to 300.    It's not a low and slow meat. Your final target temp for poultry is 165, which means for a small piece like a breast you can take it out of the smoker maybe 162 or so and wrap/rest it for 15....it will climb easily to 165. 
 
how long will it take? trying to judge my time.  Seems like maybe an hour?
 
I used a southwest rub and some pepper.  Smoked it until it got to about 160 degree, then put bbq sauce on for the rest of the time.  Very moist and tasty
