My wood comes from home depot.

My wife bought the peach from Amazon, but I get most of my wood from trees on my land.

Today I did 2 beer can chickens again. This time I put the birds in, then added cherry wood chips and let those burn and didn't refill the pan at all. Both birds were in for about 6 hours or so. I kept the temp high, 320-350 degrees. They came out a ton better than last week. Juicy, great color and taste. I think I am satisfied with chicken...pork butt next!

Awesome!  Glad your chickens were better.  6 hrs sounds like a long time, but if they were good, no worries.

6 hours does seem like a very long time at that temp.  I just spatchcocked two birds last Friday and they were on at 250 for a hair over 4 hours.
