Bruce , I would use a plate setter, feet up, drip pan on plate setter, grill or v-rack holding the big bird. Breast up and feet (or is that legs??) pointed toward the rear of the Egg(hinge).The rear is the hotest part of the Egg. When breast hits 155 and legs are 180 she is ready. Rest it 15 or 20 mins before slicing.... Merry Christmas !!
