Better Than Beer Can Chicken...Smoke 'Em!!

So I built Alton brown's now infamous ceramic flower pot smoker for my Summer of Grilling. But it's going into Early Spring, you say? So? So, I figure why not just keep it going.















Of course I smoked the pork. Twice. It gets rave reviews every time. But then I saw this thing for smoked turkey and the wife said "Okay, well maybe you should start small and see how that goes." So I brined 2 chickens (~3-4 lbs. each), whipped up a little rub and smeared it all over them, and smoked those.















OMG! Fantastic! I made a non-dairy French Silk Pie and served it as dessert.

Again, I'd love to show you pictures of the whole process, but there was kind of a SNAFU with my camera, so I can' show you the whole process or the end result. Okay, I lost the other pics, but I have this one of the birds brining. Trust me, totally worth doing. My cousin Jer asked if they were better than Beer Can and I told him they were so good they'd slap the taste right out of your mouth.

And they will too.
