First whole chicken

[banff_springs]

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?
