    2007/05/22--Did another tonight- Only took 2 hours between 275F & 325F. Basted W/Italian Salad Dressing after the first hour. Temp for meat got to 170F and pulled after 2 hours. Used pecan chips for smoke, not soaked. covered with foil whole cook so as not to burn skin. Left the drip pan out of this cook, perhaps that is the reason for the shorter cook time.

    2009/01/14--RPH-- Did one tonight on the small BGE, Spatchcocked the 7 pounder and did high in the dome at 325F, direct. Took 1 hour 15 minutes to reach 160F. Used Italian Salad Dressing, Lawry's Chicken & Poultry, Urban Accents Smokey Peppercorn Turkey Rub and some Pixie Dust. Spritzed every 20 minutes or so with vinegar and apple juice and spices. EGGstrmely moist.
