Servings:

Bring your offset smoker to temperature – You will want to maintain a temperature of roughly 250 degrees throughout the smoking process.
Prepare the chicken – Take the chicken out of the refrigerator and bring your chicken to room temperature. Rinse the chicken in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the chicken all over with the rib rub, covering all parts and nooks and crannies of the chicken.
Prepare the smoking set-up for the chicken– Place the wire cooking rack into the aluminum pan and pour in the two cups of apple juice.
Place the chicken on the chicken roaster stand – Push the chicken roaster stand through the chicken's body cavity until it comes through the neck opening. The chicken will sit comfortably by settling onto the base of the stand. Place the chicken into your smoking set-up.
Place the chicken on your offset smoker-Smoke the chicken at roughly 250 degrees for 3½ to 4 hours or until the internal temperature of the chicken in the widest part of the breast is 165degrees.
Remove the chicken from your offset smoker – Cover the chicken with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the chicken from the chicken roaster stand and carve the chicken.
