Hi,
I just seasoned the smoker and tomorrow I would like to smoke some thighs. I would like to know how long it will take and what is the best temp to smoke at.
Thanks

I smoke with apple at 225� for about 3 hrs.. times are never exact like doing a cake.. but it's close for me.
Or try 250F for about the same time. Kinda depends how tender you like 'em and how big the chicken was.
If you have a probe thermometer,you are probably looking to get them above 175� internal.
Like Tom said.
The key is will they be skin on or off? Skin off, they'll dry out fast. Skin on, do it at a higher temp to finish. You'll get rubbery skin if you cook it too low.
If the skin isn't to your liking, just do it on a grill to crisp up the skin. If you're not eating the skin, cook it skin on and toss the skin.
Don't open the door a lot.
