got some leg Quarters gave them a generous helping of some Salt Lick Garlic Dry rub What is a temp for them to cook and length of smoke there bout five pounds

Gizmo

I  do mine at max temp until the proper internal temperature is acheived.  Length of time will depend on the internal temp of the chicken when put into the smoker and the temp acheived inside the bradley.  I also finish on a hot grill or oven to crisp up the skin.

Just like Giz said and take them to 165 IT.

Just turn that Bradley to Max and for Chicken you can cook on the lower end of the Bradley.

(1st or 2nd rack from the bottom)

May sure yiu leave the vent wide open to release the moisture of the chicken!

Pretty much agreed.  I take 'em to about 145-150 if I can get a decent reading.  Then transfer to a grill to finish and crisp.  Add Q sauce if you like but watch 'em close.

If you are going to finish them on the grill, I generally do what Arnie does. Take them to about 150°F, then to the grill until they reach ≈162°F.
