How long to smoker Beer Can Chicken?

[Derek Yoder]

I am currently doing two BCC's and 2 Pork Butts. I have had them on for 6 hours (about 5 hours since the WSM got up to 225. I have been running at about 230 for most of the cook and just recently the smoker spiked to 260. The chickens look done, but just wanted to make sure I should pull them off now. Not sure of internal temp as my probe is in one of the butts.

Take the probe out, wash it, and check the chicken temps w/ it. When the birds are done, put it back in the PB.

your chickens are done after 5 hours, I can promise you that.

Next time sink the probe in the chicken first since it will be done about 14 hours before the pork butts are...
