New Bob,
I do mine indirect over a drip pan at 375° for about an hour for a small fryer bird. I usually crank it up over the last 10min to get a nice color and crispy skin.

New Bob,
I also do them slower when I want to add smoke. If doing it this way I get the BGE to 250-275° and add wood of choice. I use a polder to tell me when to pull it off.
Just depends on how fast you need it and if you like it smoked.[p]Mark

New Bob,
I use a Willie's sitter now, but it's the same difference as a can - just more sable - but I always have cooked direct. Last Wednesday I cooked a 4# bird at 350° direct and breast hit 180° in 70 minutes. Had soaked it in buttermilk for 24 hr before and then rinsed and sprayed with olive oil, rubbed with Nature Boy's Ginger rub and then used chardonay in the Willie's instead of beer. Laid a good apple chip smoke on him as well. Ohhhhhh was that a fine meal!!!
