Soaked the 7 pound bird in a simple brine of: 1 gallon water, 1 cup iodine free salt, 1 cup of 1/2 brown 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of ground black pepper. Soaked it for 1 hour per pound and then let it sit out for about an hour to get close to room temp.
Dusted the bird with some Paprika and a little ground pepper.

Got the Weber kettle up to temp and added some small chunks of Black Cherry.
Put the bird on legs toward the heat - seems to get a better cook on the legs and thighs this way and leaves the breast moist when it hits temp.

Two hours in and done - tossed some potatoes on after the 1 hour check.
