Upright chicken rack

r2 builders · Jan 27, 2017

Smoking a whole chicken tomorrow using an upright rack. See pic.
Will be smoking at 300 to 350 degrees.
Probably use SPOG for a rub overnight.
MB upright propane Smoker. ThermoPro dual probe digital.

Looking for any advice out there.

Your plan sounds good.

I would get the skin dry before cooking.

r2 builders · Jan 27, 2017

Yep
Letting it sitting in the fridge uncovered for the night.
Any hints on cook time at around 350?

pc farmer · Jan 27, 2017

Can't help there, I don't cook them like this.

r2 builders · Jan 27, 2017

I'll post it along the way.
Thanks for your info.
All information is good.

If I was doing this I would plan on 1.5 hours and go from there. Maybe sooner or later. That should be a good ballpark.

Agreed.
Rubbed with garlic oil and SPOG and into the fridge

I think at 350 you could figure about 15-20 minutes per pound.

Going for 165 at the Breast.

Using cherry wood or apple wood chunks

In the smoker for about 45 minutes so far.
Smoker temperature around 300 degrees, IT at 114 degrees.

Yeah,
Mine's taken longer than I planned .

r2 builders · Jan 28, 2017

Bird off 165 IT.
Took 3+ hours.
Turned out fine we just ate a little later than planned.

I think next time I will start much earlier.
If I finish early just wrap and into the cooler.
