Mule's smoked whole chicken on the BGE with Qview

[themule69]

It has been a while since I posted a smoke. Nothing special. It's just a 5.5 pound whole yard bird on my small BGE. I am using Ozark Oak lump with oak for smoke.

Here I am getting the BGE up to temp. I got a small shovel of coals out of the fire place to get it started..

Last night I rubbed it down with my home made rub. I am using a beer can chicken rack with no can to hold it up.

Here it is going on the BGE

It is a Home made rub. I have been working on it for about 7 years. Pretty much have it where I want it.

Happy smoken.

That my friends is a smoked yard bird in 20° temps with 25 MPH wind. That is where a BGE shines.

Thanks for looking.

Happy smoken.
