OK - just checked the tracking number that Amazon sent for my new WSM - it's out of the local FedEx warehouse for delivery. I plan to smoke some beer can chicken on Saturday. What do I need to do to get ready? I know I must 'burn-in' the new smoker. How long? And do I need smoke? Or just charcoal?? (I've got a couple of bags of Kingsford that I've been using with my ECB.)
Then, I plan on using about a half can of beer in each chicken. Generally, I add about a tablespoon of rub to the beer, and marinade the chickens overnight in either Ceaser or Italian salad dressing. In the ECB, it would generally take about 6 hours to cook 4 3 1/2 to 4-pound birds. With the WSM, what time should I put 4 chickens on in order to eat at 6 PM??
Any comments or suggestions on the process/recipe would be welcomed.
Thanks in advance - I truly appreciate your help.
Cheers!
