I would leave it whole and put a metal bowl or rib rack under the middle until it shrinks enough to fit.

I don't have a WSM, so I will let someone else comment, but howdy from Northern Ohio.

Food over a bowl or fold and skewer it. Fat cap out.

I just scrunch it up and squeeze it in between the handles of the top rack. It'll shrink up as it cooks.

I posted this earlier this week. A 15lb'er on my 18" Bayou Classic smoker. It went edge to edge. Like the others said, put a small metal bowl under for a few hours. I will shrink to fit after a while.
