Smoked whole chickeb

[cansmoke]

It's been awhile since did a whole chicken. Smoked it for 2 hours in MES at 240 and after an hour lit a fire in Oki Joe. Transferred the bird to Oki Joe and let run for about an hour. Temp ran about 250.

Internal temp 170 and still tender. Nice smoke flavour and a bit of a smoke ring. WhoooHooo.

Made a simple bbq sauce 1/4 cup each of brown sugar, whiskey (rum works as a subsitute), red wine vinegar, ketchup. I put in some of seasoning mix i used on chicken

Grilled some corn in husk

Thinking about trying a bird in my MES.
Should I smoke for a while and finish in an oven since the MES has it's limits as to how hot it can get?

I never made a Whole Chicken in any of my MES units, but I never had a problem with getting skin done right on Legs & Thighs, as long as my Smoker Temp was over 260° for the last 45 minutes. Crank it to 275° would be even better.
