Brined overnight with just salt and a little brown sugar. Used a little butter under the skin. I didn't really use a rub this time. I wanted to try something different because of the salt in the brine I only used a little black pepper. I cooked at 275* for about 4.5 hrs with some maple and a couple chunks of hickory.

Why run hotter next time? Skin not to you liking?
Try and leave the bird uncovered in the frig for a few hours before you cook it to dry it out. It worked for me, and running at 325*.
Just remember the hotter you run that, the less smoke flavor you will have.
