I'm looking for a chicken cooker. I was thinking of buying a 14 WSM but will a mini hold 4 chicken halves? Can you get temps to 300 to 350?
 
It depends on how your mini is set up for how hot it will get. I just use the steamer pan with the bottom cut out and can get over 400 but i do my chix @ 350 ish on average.

I'm not a fan of two rack cooking of chicken because the bottom will finish first and i'd have to lift the top to pull the bottom. If i were doing 4 halves i have this cookie rack that i'd put on my mini top rack and do 2 on each.
 
I can easily fit 2 spatch-cocked chickens in the mini using both grates and maintaining high temps is no problem.
But if I were doing 2 chickens, it's a lot easier for me to just do them on the UDS.
