Haven't even thought about wood. Should I use any? What's best with chicken?

I might use the stubs seasoning too.

I use hickory with chicken.

Mesquite/apple for ribs. Maybe a little hickory at the end with ribs.

Quick google looks like people are against hickory for chicken. Mainly pecan and cherry.

Wouldn't seem like a problem to me.

Experiment with a bunch of stuff. You won't ruin anything trying diff smoke/flav profiles.

Got hickory. Do I need to soak them?

How long on the brine?

Maybe you should return the smoker and get a crock pot. Probably will be a little easier for you to operate.

That might be a good idea! Having trouble getting a steady temperature. I poured some lit coals in and it keeps dying out. Hovers around 160...
