If your book suggested smoking it below 140 (did it?) then it's not giving you good advice.

Below 140 leaves the food in the danger zone for extended periods and if you don't finish off your chicken to a higher temp long enough to kill the bacteria, you'll be seeing some potential food poisoning.

What book?

For the real advice, just ask here, we'll get you the real skinny, and since I wrote Brining 101, I know a think or two about that and I'll help.
