Thats a good lookin bird, bet it tasted even better.

I also question how you finished that bad boy, TBE, the grill, the oven or the smoker?  ;D

Hey guys, what starts in the smoker ends in the smoker. I have not yet pulled anything out of the smoker. I am trying to work on getting the birds skin to be crispy, I have thought about pulling the water pan for the last hour, any other ideas please do let me know.

You will not be able to get the skin crispy in the Bradley. I usually finish mine in my TBE to crisp up the skin but you could finish it in the oven also ;)

Like muebe stated you wont get crispy skin finishing in the Bradley like you would get in a lump burner.

I cook at 250 F and still cant get it crispy, thats why I like to finish in TBE.

Not sayin finishing in the Bradley is bad or anything of the sorts, just sayin I like crispy skin.  ;D

I did a whole chicken in the Bradley last week and I got the skin semi-crispy. I pat the bird dry, coat with dry rub and smoke at 250. No brine or injections.
