Michael's Texas Smoked Yard Runner (Smoked Chicken)

Yield: 4 servings

• 1 whole chicken, average weight 3-4 pounds
• 1 can of Pearl beer, or the beer of your choice
• Sonny Bryan's Barbecue Sauce
  

Set smoker to a steady 260°F. Place roast in smoker and close. Do not lift lid during process. Allow 4 hours smoking time and remove lid. Wrap tightly in foil and return to the smoker for 2 additional hours. Check doneness by piercing meat and checking color of liquid. When done liquid should run clear. Before removing from smoker, pierce foil on bottom to allow excess grease to run off. Remove roast and place on platter. Using cooking fork, gently pull meat apart.
