I'm more interested in wood grilling than long smoking. I cook beef
steaks rare, but still get a lot of smoky goodness onto them. For
chicken, an hour and a half is plenty long to cook it with lots of
smoke involved. One limitation of the Weber is that you can only use
a bit more than half of the grill space, as the rest is subject to too
much direct heat.
