Had smoked my first whole chickens last Sunday...Made my own rub and smoked 2 6 lb chickens. Smoked with Cherry wood and sprays of OJ after the first 1.5 hours of smoking with out cracking the door. Took 5 hrs. The first 1.5 hrs at 300, the dropped to 225 -250 for the next 3.5 hrs. Amazing flavor.....I am definitely hooked. With all the information available here its amazing how simple these cooks really are..... patience is a virtue when it comes to the wait time. But well worth it. Thanks all.... Sorry posted the apple wood pic... I did use cherry :)

Final product after pulled /wrapped and put into a cooler for 1 hr. No BBQ sauce required. As it set, the skin almost candied from the OJ/Honey sprays every 1/2 during the cook .I did not open the smoker for the first  1.5 hrs  Had a mix of OJ and Honey and sprayed it every 1/2 hour until it hit 168 The flavor from the cherry wood and OJ pretty much made its own BBQ sauce as it stayed hot in the cooler. :) Was fantastic
