Two Birds, Two different Rubs, Smokin Side By Side With The Tastes Cross? Master Built 7 in 1 Smoke

[gapi]

I'm wanting to smoke two chickens with different rubs. There are those who don't like spicy so I want ta comply.

I usually do 2 5# birds on the top rack. I'm thinking of putting a third on the lower rack as well.

Will the flavors cross contaminate?

Also while I have e your ears. Can I crisp the skin in this setup by cranking it up before it gets to 170°F.

Thanks

You'll get the drippings from the birds above on the bird below so it is quite possible that you'll end up with the flavors of both birds above.

I smoke all my birds with the pit running 325-350 the entire cook. Pull the birds at 165.

They get plenty of smoke and the skin crisps up nicely.

Thanks,

I'm going to do the birds and take them to a party 30 minutes away so from the smoker to the table would be 45min to 1 hr.

My follow up question is about what to do when pulling them off the smoker? I read about foil wrap and such and taking care about not keeping them wrapped for too long.

I need more details please. How long is too long?

I plan on crisping the skin.

What do you guys do or would in my situation?
