It just takes up a lot of space if the bird has some size to it. “Life is life and fun is fun, but it's all so quiet when the goldfish die.”

Also have the wife or someone with small hands loosen a giant pocket of skin starting at neck and working to the legs. Then jam frozen pats of butter, fresh herbs, seasonings all over under the skin with out ripping it off. Cook rib side down and have heavy weight foil ready Incase it starts to crisp to much before hitting temp. "Maybe we're all happy." "Go to the sporting goods store. From the files, obtain form 4473.

Think I can pull off doing a chicken on a $30 charcoal Weber? I’m away from home for a few months stuck in a city apartment. Amazing what you can do on a tiny charcoal grill but I don’t know if I can keep from burning the hell out of a whole chicken. I’ll give it a try ha.
