Yesterday I made chicken on the smoker and it was absolutely amazing! It’s not a crispy skin, but was awesome anyway. I used a higher temp, 250°-270° at the grate, Apple pellets, Weber Brown Sugar BBQ for a light seasoning at the beginning, basted with clarified butter once or twice, and finished it off with Suckle Busters Chipotle BBQ sauce. Quick char on the grill to finish! What a great combo for chicken! Give it a try!!! My family loves the SuckleBusters Honey BBQ, (we buy it by the gallon!) but the Chipotle was awesome as well!

I used a charcoal grill to smoke a pork butt not long ago and it's pretty simple. Get a good metal bowl and put your apple cider vinegar-soaked wood chips in it and rest it on the coals on one side of the grill and put your meat on the other side for indirect heat. You can always add more chips to the bowl through the grate and if some fall on the coals, no worries. It works great!
