Doing some thighs tomorrow on the kettle....have them marinating in some of that State Fair Chicken Sauce. :bc:

You better be careful. Smoking meat can become addictive :lol: I usually do thighs offset at 300F for 1.5-2 hours. If you do chicken at the lower temps the skin gets rubbery    :bc:

Well I was planning on just grilling on direct heat but maybe I will give smoking them a shot. Do you sear them first?

For chicken I do the first hour low to infuse the smoke then put it on high to cook through. Last chicken halves I did came out perfect in about 215

No smoke first to penetrate then you can bring up the temp

Yes I'm stupid but I'm guessing I just open up the bottom vent on the kettle to bring the temps up.

Yes, open the bottom vent all the way to create more heat. I always keep the top vent wide open.

I leave the bottom vent wide open and open and close the top vent. I find this method to work the best. My Weber being 15 years old and the bottom vent being broken,may also be why I cook this way.about 2 1/2 hours at 250 for the first half and 325 for the second half. Poring a half a cup of apple juice in the bird gives it a good flavor and steams through the bird.

I would just grill them with that marinade,. I don't see smoke flavor and state fiar spiedie marinade mixing well at all, to many different flavors that are way at opposite end of the spectrum
