Smoking a 5 pound chicken
by: SmokerBill

That depends. First, if it's a baby why does it weigh 5 pounds?

Smoker temperature has a huge effect on smoking time. With a 5 pound chicken, smoked at 225 degrees you're looking at 4 to 6 hours. If you can get the temperature of your smoker up to 300 degrees, you'll drop that down to 2 hours or less.

If you brine your chicken, it will take less time to smoke, too. And if you split it into two halves, also shorter time.

Basically...It's done when it's done.
