I am planning to smoke two whole chickens. What temperature should they be done at? Are the chickens put on the grates breast side up or down? Thanks.

Don't soak chips for less intense smoke, also those little foil pouches seem to make it really strong too.. Don't use chips at all if you can, they flare up easy, burn out quickly; useless in my opinion. I saw a video on youtube of some chick using an electric smoker and she took the chip tray out and just set some wood chunks around the heating element but not touching it and she had some nice looking smoke coming out during her shots of the cook.I will definitely have to try this. I did have a lot of smoke for the first 45 minutes. I wrapped my soaked chips in a foil packet with holes in it and thought that might help....not! The skin actually had soot that I could wipe off of it. How do you regulate the smoke?
