Roll with either but I prefer 350 minimum for chicken. The 225 probably includes a reverse sear.

Yep, Meathead on occasion recommends 225 for chicken recipes to get more smoke into it, but then a sear/crisping with high heat at the end. Personally I find searing chicken to be a pain and I don't care for the char on the skin, so I too stick with a higher heat cook.

I watched a thing on Big Bob's pits and I think they run in the 300-350 range.
