Smoked Beer Can Chicken

Today I smoked a couple of chickens on beer cans.  I have read so much on brining or not I decided to brine one and not the other to see the difference.  After trying both, there wasn't a distinct difference.

The weather didn't want to cooperate today so I set my 10' x 10' canopy up over my grilling area so I could stay dry while out there.  

I had mixed up some Shooter's Snakebite Rub from http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/.  I coated them down good and injected them with a mixture of Apple Juice, Key Lime Juice and Rum.  Now I just need to catch a break in the rain to get to the smoker.

I also made some veggie packs to go on the gas grill.  In these I had red potatoes, onions, carrots  celery and mushrooms.  Topped off with some evoo and spices.

It took just over 2 hours for the chicken. The veggie packs that went on the gas grill later were ready too.   

 

I smoked these using apple wood chips.  The meal turned out nice.  The chicken had a nice smoke flavor.  I had my mother and mother in law here for dinner and everyone liked it.  

Grilling is becoming an addiction with me.  I'm planning on stuffed meatloaf tomorrow.
