Andy, have your heard of the "Snake Method"? I used a version of it last month for rotisserie chicken on the Weber.
I split the coals and wood chunks to opposite sides of the kettle and lit the coals from opposite ends. I used "Tumbleweeds" to start the coals. These are bundles of what looks like straw, that have been dipped in paraffin wax. The drip pan went between the coal lines, with some water. Birds came out very tasty.
Thanks CraigC. I have heard of the snake method but haven't tried it yet.
