Evening all. My smoker is upright,3 racks, water pan and fire box(propane) I want to smoke chicken for a special at the club i work at as the chef. Can i smoke on all 3 racks, do I have to rotate the racks during smoking, and do I need a thermometer for each rack?

Keep the temp around 225 and your birds should be fine no matter which rack they reside on. Might consider putting foil over the wings so they don't burn.

A therm for each rack would be ideal, but one will get you there. Keep an eye on the internal temps, and the wings are usually first to toast/burn. At 225 you won't get a crispy skin... but then it's all good.
