I am smoking two pork butts tomorrow on my Weber 22, and my wife says Honey (because when she wants something she calls me honey) how much trouble would it be to throw a whole chicken on there for dinner?
So tonight I am brining a 6.22 pound bird and will rinse it and dry it and apply rub tomorrow. But how long does a 6.22 pound bird take to get to 160-165? I plan to move it to the gas grill to crisp the skin so I figure pulling it 5 degrees short of the 165-170 target is okay. But what time do I throw the bird on the smoker that will have already been humming along on the pork for hours?
Chris's beer can recipe uses smaller birds (4 pounds) for about 4 hours. How much longer for a bird that is a little over 50% larger?
