Thanks for joining the I Need BBQ community and I look forward to many years of fun barbecue times. Let me know what you like to grill, smoke or cook up. I want to do some cooking videos and looking into doing a once-a-week live show that we can all cook together. Thoughts?
Here's the down and dirty. Chicken breast really benefit from low cooking temps on a smoker. So try to stay in the 225f to 275f range. Throw em on there and use a leave in probe. If you dont have one - just check them with a regular probe. You HAVE TO pull them at 160f internal if you wait for 165f they will dry out. They will be food safe after you let them rest. Doing it this way is simple, and they wont dry out. But be sure to use a good rub because chicken breast doesnt have a lot of flavor and nearly zero fat.

Howdy y'all. Kyle here from Columbus, OH - the sleeper city for BBQ. I smoke meat pretty much every day on a pellet smoker (let the roasting begin). My go to is Brisket! P.S. I also have my own line of rubs. So if you have rub questions let em rip!
