    I love my new WSM 22.5! w/ Pics (and my story of smoking)

    Congrats! I recommend the expandable cooking rack accessory. With it you can hang sausage, bacon, jerky, etc, etc. It takes the WSM to the next level.

    Chicken skin like black shoe leather

    The MES really doesn't get hot enough for crisp skin. I like to smoke chicken about 325-350*F for the crisp skin. For the MES user, I recommend smoking it then grilling direct.

    Whole chickens frozen the thawed?

    Depends on how salty the brine is. A fairly low salt brine -like Pop's brine - would be fine. The chicken will obtain equilibrium. If the brine is too salty it'll be awful chicken.

    WSM two levels - time?

    No. Unless you load it up you won't notice a difference (like 4 butts on top and 4 on bottom). However, I cook ribs and chicken at different temp. Chicken is 325-350*F while ribs are 250-275*F. Of course, that's just me. ...and there is a temp difference between top and bottom.

    Help with smoking needed

    When I saw that I was thinking the same thing. They do make horizontal cylinders but vertical cylinders are not suitable substitutes.

    Reheat...

    I'd go ahead and vac pack it but hold it in the fridge and reheat it by placing the bag in boiling water.
