I've been cooking chicken on my WSM for a few months now with pretty decent results. I just dump a lot of hot coals in, open all the vents, and let 'er rip. Usually the cooker get to 400-415 degrees with the empty water pan in, 440ish with the pan out. I'm trying smoked chicken with alabama white sauce tonight, and the recipe says cook at 350 (as do most other chicken recipes). Would I be getting better results if I cooked at that temp? Thanks.

You do need to watch the temps if you use lots of sugar in a rub or sauce. Then you don't want to go over 350*.

Also, all the chickens I've cooked at high temps still need to get direct heat skin side down to get crispy. But when I watch videos online, the skin always looks crispy even without grilling at the end. Any way to remedy this? I don't mind direct cooking at the end, but it means I need to disassemble my WSM to do it.
