Times on smoking chicken

[k9trainer]

I am going to smoke some briskets this weekend. Thought about throwing some leg quarters in the back of the smoker at the same time. What kind of times am I looking at with chicken legs and quarters. With temps around 250

I usual smoke whole chicken halves for 4 hours at 225 degrees.

for quarters an 1 1/2 give or take. They will start to pull off the knuckles when ready.

the best way to tell when your chicken is done is to give the leg bone a little twist, if the bone twist at the socket its done

I rarely cook by time anymore. I have several meat thermometers and pull it off 10-15 degrees before my final temp and let it cook the rest of the way off heat. Comes out perfect every time.
