Chicken Halves on a Drum Smoker (Pit Barrel Cooker)

Check out this video as we show you how to split a whole chicken into halves, hang it in a Pit Barrel Cooker, and smoke it! Drum smokers are a great way to smoke chicken. If you have a Pit Barrel Cooker, this is one of the easiest and tastiest things you can cook in it.
Plan on a little over two hours for this. Here's everything we used for this cook:
1 whole chicken
Heath Riles Garlic Jalapeno Rub
Olive oil
Hickory wood chunks

I prefer 7. But 6 is a good number too.
