I thought some might find this interesting.
Darcy is a long time comp cook and caterer ,that cooks on a JR.
He cooks very traditionally and has been a big help to many of us.
He also often views many non traditional cookers with disdain.
He won a Cookshack 160 for going Grand Champion at Ponca City last year.
Here is his answer to a question posted on Ray Basso's forum.

anything that is fresh and between 12 - 17 lbs.
I cooked 2 17lb birds ( injected with brine ) yesterday in the Cookshack 160, cooked them at 265 for 6 hours. Except for the brine being too salty, they were the best birds I've turned out.
