I'm doing one right now. Simple brine of 1/3 c kosher salt, 1/3 c brown sugar, 2 Tbs dizzy pig raging river....enough water to fill a gallon ziplock and the bird. Brined about six hours. On the medium now, spatchcocked, direct, raised grid at 300 dome. Rubbed with more raging river before I put it on. Should take about 90 minutes or so.

FrankC, I have never brined a whole bird but, I bet their great. :P
On the other hand about three days ago I picked up 4 large breasts bone in and skin on. I made a batch of low sodium flavor brine like you and took my Jacquard to them and let them soak for about three hours. Wow what a great flavorful juicy breast. I do it all the time and on pork chops as well. -
The bird came out really good. Sorry, no pics. It was the first time I've ever brined a chicken, but it won't be the last. I'll have to remember to brine some pork chops the next time.
