Not sure if all are doing it but they were $15 off and only $2.99 a lb at the Cumming GA store. This was a little under 13 lbs and came out to $23 and change.

    Do you plan on wet or dry brining it, even though it's at a 5% solution already?  I'm still figuring out where to get  a fresh bird.  
    I like my butt rubbed and my pork pulled.

    I’ll still do like a 12 hour soak. Will probably cut back the salt a little in the brine.

    Are those frozen?  If not will it last another 10 days?

    Mine went straight into the freezer. We are going out of town for thanksgiving so not sure when I’m gonna cook it. Might be a Christmas bird.

    Looks like it has a sell by date of 11/29.  I would start mine in the dry brine by the 25th, so it won't be a problem to get it now.  A butcher at Kroger told me they will start getting birds in soon and they will be fresh through Thanksgiving.  I think I'll head to Costco soon to get the size I'm looking for, 12 - 14#.  Thanks @Lit for the heads up.

    Thanks @Lit I'll go pick up a couple.  I think I'm going to try and remove all the bones and roll it up this year.

    @GoooDawgs  Good idea.  I can vouch it works well, and is a great space saver. 
    Roughly the same sized birds and the top was deboned.

    Awesome @Sea2Ski! How were the different cook times? Did you put the top one on an hour or so after the big bird below?

    @GoooDawgs actually, the deboned one took longer.  I attribute this because it is more compact due to it being tied, and it was not subjected
    to direct heat.  FYI, I always heat the egg up to 425-450 or so for a good 45 mins to get more radiant heat from the dome to get a crispy skin, then bank it back to where I think it will be 375-400F when I put the birds on.
