Chicken looks excellent. It is hard to beat a good smoked chicken.
...And! This one happened to be the best one to date - I think the cool weather here (AZ) may have helped with that - Low and Slow on the smoker was easy this time!
Thank you Paul B. !!

As everyone has already said that looks amazing and the photos were great too. I'm curious as to what temperature you set/maintained in your smoker. What type of smoker (brand) do you have? How long was the cooking time? And lastly, did the skin get crispy?
~Temp varied between 220 -275 in the smoker. I was trying to maintain 250, however - the weather outside was unsettled temperature/wind wise and I had to keep monkeying with the smoker temp!
~ The smoker itself is a 15 y.o. gas Masterbuilt upright, 4-shelf unit. Very temperamental thing! No doubt in my mind that a Trager grill/smoker-style rig may be purchased shortly at my Beach place on the Ore. coast. In AZ now though - won't replace this unit. Works OK.
~Cooking time was probably 5 hrs + or - ....wind and outside temp, falling had a lot to do with that. Which, as it turned out so good was just fine! A "Meater" Bluetooth Probe worked fantastically pushed deep in the breast - internal 158deg was maintained for about 30-45min at the end (I/we personally don't like dry chicken: https://blog.thermoworks.com/chicken/chicken-internal-temps-everything-you-need-to-know/#:~:text=Ok%2C%20so%20most%20people%20know,exact%20same%20assurance%20of%20safety. )
~ This time, for this chicken, I used olive oil and then my rub on the outside of the bird - so as to get a "Not Crispy" skin. Previous birds have been Crispy style without the oil and using a higher temp later in the smoker. They both are good - I don't eat much of the skin anyway - the wife likes it better!!
By the way, the smoke was fairly light with this bird, but permeated through the meat very well - maybe from the somewhat longer time in the unit and lower temp setting I'm guessing!
Thank you so much, pwrxprt!!

You're making it worse for those of us who aren't close enough to you to steal a big 'ol chunk of that delicious smoked chicken.
ENJOY!

Good work. I hope that it tastes as good as it looks.
A couple of times I did a turkey on my Webber. Came out great.
