Hey guys/gals, I am an up-and-coming smoker from Upstate New York (Tug Hill Region), and around Christmas 2016, I dove (dived?) head first into the art of meat smoking. My awesome in-laws had bought me a Masterbuilt Duel Fuel Pro 2-door propane smoker, and thanks to YouTube, have managed to develop my own rubs and methods for Pork butts and ribs. I am still getting the hang of things, and will probably never stop learning. I stumbled upon this forum via Google. When I was looking for solutions to my chips flaring up during smoking, and voila! I found this forum with a thread and all the possible solutions I could hope for (Cast iron skillet above chip pan, foil in chip pan, etc). I love all the advice given, and decided I would like to throw my hat in the ring. The question I have for you guys is this: I will be trying beer can chicken for the first time this weekend with ranch raised, no hormone chicken. have any of you ever done a Spiedie state fair marinade for one, and what is your favorite beer to use for this method? also, what do you prefer for wood when smoking poultry? Thanks!

Welcome to SMF!

Never heard of that marinade, but I like mesquite for chicken.

http://shop.spiedie.com/statefairchickensauce-2.aspx It is a vinegar based marinade that is very similar to the local fire department chicken BBQs. It is great tasting stuff when cooking over wood fire all day long, I would have to figure in a smoker it would be killer.
