Anybody ever cooked 4 or more spachcocked whole chickens at once?  I'd imagine moisture could be a problem...

Thoughts and opinions are appreciated.

Leave the vent wide open and check the water bowl often.

If you only have one element, I suspect you will have trouble getting the cabinet up to your set temperature. After applying smoke I would move two of them to either your grill or kitchen oven.

Since you have a duel element, run your smoker up to 250/260.

Try to avoid the bottom and top rack. Chicken in the middle.

Like Gus said vent wide open.

You will need to rotate your racks every hour or so. (top to bottom)

Don't over do the smoke. I usually don't say that, I love smoke.

You can crispen the skin under the oven broiler.

Take pictures and post them.

Then you end up with a bowl full of grease and hot pucks.  Not a good combination.

I cooked (2) whole chickens, (3) chicken breasts, (6) 1" pork chops, and some slices of bologna in my 4 rack last weekend.  I don't see why you couldn't do at least 4 in a 6 rack.

I hope your Bradley is far away from your house and any other structures.  You have the perfect environment for your Bradley to catch on fire.

Thanks everybody!   Will post pics.  Probably cut them as 1/2 chickens and finish in the srg.
