Nice looking bird!
I never really monitor my temp when I am cooking spatchcocked chickens. I just bank about 2/3 of a chimney of lit coals to one side of the OTG behind some fire bricks throw some chunks on and let 'er rip with the vents all the way open. I might rotate the bird once during the cook. I don't even put it under bricks any more. Seems to pretty reliably be done after about 50-60 minutes. Next time I do it, I might put a probe in to see what my OTG is running. I am guessing it is 375-400. Next time, I'll see if I detect a different keeping the temp a little lower.

I love my mini-WSM (heck, I've even cooked a packer on it) but I always seem to come back to the kettle. I imagine the UDS will be even easier to use once I have gotten used to it, but I am guessing that if I were told I could only keep one cooker (even after I have UDS experience) it would be my kettle.

Looks real good, got me itching to do another bird on the kettle.
What's the scoop with the skewers?

Looks good! (Yeah, you do not want to keep a pregnant woman waiting! Been there, tried not to do that!)
How did the lid thermometer compare with readings form the ET-732?

i'm glad you asked that quesion. the few times ive cooked on this new OTG(ive had lots of cooks on the older model without a dome thermometer) i think the dome thermometer has been reading high because of its postion relative to where my coals are. when i have my kettle set up like this: i alternate my exhaust being at the head and foot of the bird to make sure it cooks evenly. when doing that the dome thermometer always ends up right above the coals so it reads higher than the temp the food is getting. when i only have coals on one side i put my exhaust opposite of the coals and the problem isnt quite as bad. here is a pic of where the thermometer is on the lid so you can see what i mean. now the short answer, i'm pretty sure it was gonna read higher so i didnt pay much attention to it, although i was excited to have it on the OTG. i did, however look a few times and it was reading 30-40 degrees higher than my maverick that was right near the food.
