Rated 3 out of 5 by Moelysol from Not for my family This was a change of pace but it wasn't a keeper for my family. I didn't care for the vegetable combination with the whole chicken.

Rated 4 out of 5 by kjkltz2 from interesting idea Do this with a 10LB turkey. (spatch-cocked- split opened flat). Scatter some veggies under the turkey rubbed with the seasoning, then tent it. Only put BBQ sauce on the last 1/2 hour or so, otherwise it may burn. I do the roasted veggies sometimes in the oven on a pan.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Feta from Smoked Chicken Smoking chicken and duck are the way to go. Meat is moist and falls off of the bone. Smoked fish is also good. Highly recommend this form of cooking.
