I'm cooking 4 - 7 lb chickens for a mothers day party tomorrow. How long ish will they have to cook? I'm planning on 250 degrees if it matters...

I'm guessing 6 hours ish... Is that in the ballpark?

I put it by 6:30 for a 2:00 party, I will let you know.

Two hours in and internal temp is 107 degrees. This is going to be done way too early. lol

It doesn't look like I can post pictures yet.

The smoker won't go above 212 degrees even though it's 71 out with no wind.

Internal temp only 138 after 5:45 of cooking. Any help would be appreciated.

They should be long done. I would suggest finishing them in the oven since you have a party soon and then we can work on fixing any problems.
