I am getting ready for my grill of the 4th and would like to know if anyone has info regarding me smoking 2 small chickens on bottom and a few racks of ribs on top/hover grill.

Is this doable? Would it cause issues with smoke or be too over crowded?

The chickens are a few pounds each. I will be using 3 racks of ribs.

Ribs - 2 hours smoke, 2 hours foiled, 1 hour direct heat medium = mopped.

Chicken - not sure how long to smoke chicken or if I should limit...

Love to know what everyones thinks?

I am doing test run of Smokenator 1000 right now...works perfectly...

You can do this, but you are going to need to finish the chicken on the food support grill or in the oven. The coal support grill is about 60-70 degrees lower than the dome temperature. You can raise the temp by letting the water pan run dry as well.

Thanks Ecripps...I will be cooking the ribs for the last hour with more direct heat...I guess that is why the Smokenator says to raise the chickens up so they get hotter. I may just use other grill and rotisserie for the chickens. Need more room...
