first whole chicken

[chris_harper]

i bought a whole chicken today i want to smoke tomorrow. it is a "freah young chicken"- 4.54lbs. if i read it right, it should be done in 3-4 hours @ 225°, right? i also read it has been changed to pull it when internal temp hits 160°, right? i plan on brining it tonight.
i also bought a beef rump roast, 4.09lbs. i will be smoking it at the same time. i will be using mesquite wood splits.
also on the agenda is 1lb jalapenos for ABT's, a JD sage fatty, a JD hot fatty, and dutch's wicked baked beans.
any advice on the chicken or roast?
