My two ~14 llb birds are on, and I will be cooking two additional breasts in a couple hours. Got a nice stock underneath with chicken broth, carrots, onions, and celery to catch the drippings and add to my gravy.

We're underway. I've got this 19-some pounder a friend gave me. It'll be a first as I've limited my previous efforts closer to 14lbs. Did a dry brine as mentioned in Tish's thread. Seasoned and sealed for almost two days, I got up this morning at 6am to air dry the skin in the fridge.

Going to stuff the cavity with aromatics and just started my coals.

I tried about 4 different setups to accommodate the bird's size in my 22" kettle. Pretty close, maybe too close, to the lid using the cooking grate, I tried charcoal baskets, clay saucers, and even small clay flower pots. None of these gave me much extra headroom. I was also worried about stability. Went with a Pyrex baking dish to support my pan. Lord, please see me through this with some success.

need to lower the heat on the beef and crank it up on the bird.
 
About to fire up the WSM for one bird. The other will be braised on the gasser

Dry brined for 30-ish hours and left overnight in the fridge to dry the skin
