Smoking Whole Chicken

[southnjsmoke]

I'm doing my second smoked chicken today, first one turned out great.
I spatchcocked it and brined it over night. I dried it and rubbed it and now its hanging out with the drumsticks in the fridge for another hour until I'm ready to start smoking it.
Does anyone have a preference on breast side up or breast side down during smoking? Last time I kept the breast side up

Breast side up for me.

I've only done it breast up, but I can't complain based on the results.

Breast up is how I roll.

Down for the first half, up for the 2nd half.
