This morning was overcast with the Marine Layer in. I just got some of Simply Marvelous Spicy Apple Rub from Steph so I thought I would try some Smoked Chicken. Fired up the Egg to do a cool smoke with Hickory and Apple wood.

Filled the drip pan with Apple juice to help keep moisture and also not get the smoke taste from burnt chicken fat.

Went to Albertsons Market and picked up two 5.5 lb. chickens.
