Upright chicken rack

[r2 builders]

Smoking a whole chicken tomorrow using an upright rack. See pic.
Will be smoking at 300 to 350 degrees.
Probably use SPOG for a rub overnight.
MB upright propane Smoker. ThermoPro dual probe digital.

Looking for any advice out there.

Your plan sounds good.

I would get the skin dry before cooking.

 

[r2 builders]

Yep
Letting it sitting in the fridge uncovered for the night.
Any hints on cook time at around 350?

 

[pc farmer]

Can't help there, I don't cook them like this.

 

[r2 builders]

Same here.
I'll post it along the way.
Thanks for your info.
All information is good.

If I was doing this I would plan on 1.5 hours and go from there.    Maybe sooner or later.   That should be a good ballpark.

 

[r2 builders]

Agreed.
Rubbed with garlic oil and SPOG and into the fridge

I think at 350 you could figure about 15-20 minutes per pound.

[r2 builders]

Yeah,
Mine's taken longer than I planned .

 

[r2 builders]

Bird off 165 IT.
Took 3+ hours.
Turned out fine we just ate a little later than planned.

I think next time I will start much earlier.
If I finish early just wrap and into the cooler.
