Spinning a chook.

Hey there C6Bill, sounds like your home will be a happy destination point for Christmas. As to where I got it,... the wife went out on a mission and she discovered while in her favorite store "Market Basket" that all the 20lb birds were gone, all that remained were the giants. I found no draw back to cooking this bird, nor any quality differences as far as taste and texture were concerned that one might think to expect in a larger bird. You could say it was a myth buster experiment settled. Best of luck with the cook, are you feeding an army lol?

We did pizza last night and I clipped a temperature probe right under the steel. It settled in to an average of about 740°F while the dome was at 600°F, and ran that way for a solid 2 hours before I shut it down. I didn't think to measure the stone. It's hard to estimate how much longer it would have gone by looking at the remaining fuel this morning, but I think the may have been another half hour if I needed it. Another data point.

@Tyrus Great looking bird !!!! Where did you get it ? I need a 24 pound one for Christmas to go with my brisket.
