I'm workin on it 

[Kc_Kracker]

Dont hate, appreciate... Bourbon Butter garlic injected, rubbed down, and should be in full plumage by now 

[Kc_Kracker]

well, smokey she got but the lack of insulation in the door kept it from getting hot enough for poultry so gotta get the temp up in the oven while its still in the safety zone time slot  oh well its should be plenty smokey the whole house now wreaks of it after walking it to the kitchen

What temp did the smoker peak and stay at?
What was the internal temp of the bird before moving to oven?

[Kc_Kracker]

smoker peaked at 150, not enough instant heat for poultry to get outta the danger zone in 4 hrs. internal only got to 120.
now im debating on taking to empty lower area and making it a drawer for a wood burning box for poultry

  Kc_Kracker,  Good Job and very creative you are...Nice! 

[Kc_Kracker]

well it went in the oven for 1 last hour, got up to temp, and plopped back in the smoker for a while. it was saved but not perfect, it was all up to temp internally but the ligaments didnt get broken down as well as id have liked and i had blood near the bone at the hips. o well, its the first white meat i have ever eaten that was JUICY not dry, the breasts were so moist we scarfed them down 

[RifleRidge]

  job well done....Looks like it was a good feast indeed..

[Kc_Kracker]

ya i injected it with Bourbon garlic butter, so it had a amazing taste
