    lw,
    I'm guessing that the difference in times for recipes depends on the temp used. Think of the egg as an oven. If you cook an 8 pound capon at 325, I'm guessing 3 hours. I'd use a thermometer. The breast should be 160 and the thighs 180. If you start earlier, you could drop the temp to about 275-300 and get it done in maybe 5 hours. Same temps for doneness.
    Good luck.
