First Cook - Rotisserie Chicken on the 14.5 Wsm

[robert-r]

Made a rotisserie ring for the 14.5. WSM: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=221968&highlight=rotisserie+ring
Got it painted & seasoned, finally.

Cooked a chicken this afternoon/evening. High Heat Cook. Coated the bird with Kosher salt for 2 hours. Rinsed it well several times. Slathered it with Mayo & rubbed it with Weber's Garlic & Herb seasoning. Put it on the spit. Full charcoal ring of used KBB & 3 chunks cherry & 1 chunk pecan.

Let it spin... temps were moderated from 400* to 440* for 85 minutes. Had a spike that pegged the 732 over 550*. Got HHH error message on the Ready Check!

85 minutes later:

I'm hoping it tastes as good as it looks. It's a Christmas present for my next door neighbor of 30+ years. He's 86 now.

That is one mighty fine looking bird!!

I have been at this game for a couple years now and chicken STILL remains my arch nemesis. I just can not cook a dang bird.
