Couple Whole Chickens

[gunner28]

I smoked some ribs a couple weeks back (Jan. 2nd), but failed to post with photos.  They were very good; wife and son said the best yet ;D

Today, I just took these two whole chickens out of the #2 after smoking them under light snowfalls in Ont., Canada. Outside temps are -6 C (feels like -14C ) or 21 F (and 7 F).  Both were brined ~4.5 hours yesterday, went overnight in fridge with two different dry rubs applied. Stuffed with equals parts onion, apple, carrot, and celery.  They're currently under some foil (~30 min) before I carve them up.  They smell delicious!

Beautiful, Gunner!  I just love the taste mire poix gives the meat.  I often mix in apple, too.  Try adding a cut up lemon in the mix, some time.

If those birds tasted half as good as they look then this was a huge success. Nice job!
