I'm doing it again this year and now that I reflect I don't think I could have cut the bird in half - it barely fit on the shelf still whole
I will stick also to the 8 hours in the smoker and the last two in the oven so I can create that gravy again - OMG it was good!!!!!!!! I just may.....um.....start so people can eat before 8:00 'cause I may have some VISITORS this year (that was your clue)
