Do you folks cut on each side of the spine? I usually just cut one side with a knife. no, ya cut both sides, removing the back bone completely, which i end up using for stock. The shears work for this, but i've also used a cleaver

I always spatchcock my birds before smoking them. They cook much more evenly. My kids like them finished with some honey with salt/pepper that I brush on. Finish it hot to crisp the skin.

The shears work for this, but i've also used a cleaver DONE IT both ways, but like cooking all the bird. We make stock with the cooked backs. Most often I dismember the bird and grill. The seasoned, cooked backs add flavor, IMO.

No, the back bone under side of the bird. I talked the keel out also, it lets it open flatter. I also learned to cut slits by the tail, then run the legs through. That keeps everything a uniform thickness and makes a nice package. Nothing sticks out much to over cook. I usually don't bother tucking the legs in though.
