Wanted to show pic's of my first smoked whole chicken. Did lots of research as I've never done this before. Still consider myself a newbie when it comes to smoking. Am slowing improving and don't have a hard time getting guinnea pigs to my place to sample the end-product. Thanks to you guys and the forum's as a whole, I am getting better.
I brined the chicken for 16 hours and then cooked it @ 240*F for 4 hours. ITT reached 170*F. Used apple chips and smoked the entire cooking time. Friends all raving about the flavour...mind you, when it was all said and done, I am wishing I had room to do two (2) chickens. Oh well, next time.

PS..on another note, how does one go about embedding pic's so they show up as a thumbnail? Which is the best service to use to provide me with a link/embed code?
