They took longer than I expected, maybe I should have used 250 instead of 220?

I brined them for about 3hrs in a solution of 1/2 cup Kosher salt & 1/2 cup brown sugar. Next time I think I'll cut the salt by 1/2. I just used an off-the-shelf poultry seasoning from Lowe's http://www.lowes.com/pd_608910-49368-OW85185_0__?productId=50330209
Then placed the bacon over the chicken. Smoked at around 220 (in hindsight, it should have been hotter). Took about 4 hours to get to 165 degrees.
I'm still very much a noobie, so take that into consideration. :biggrin:
I think it was some hickory that I bought at Lowes. I just trimmed up an apple tree on my property and saved a bunch for smoking. Looking forward to trying that.What wood did you use?
