somebody shut me the fark up.
I would cook at 325º until the Thighs are at 180º and the Breast is at 160º. I cook mine unstuffed, stuffed will increase cooking time.

At 300* I would figure around 18 to 20 minutes per pound (unstuffed)... Raise that heat up just 25* and you could knock down the time to 11 to 13 minutes a pound (unstuffed)...

I say 5 or 6 but if you take the backbone out will cut your time down a lot

quicker
Well, a little quicker than planned. Mostly around 295° on the 070 for2:45.
So in the cooler it goes temp should continue to rise. Don't know if I'll get any pics when it's carved but looks nice & juicey.
