Mornin',cook17.

It's a pretty muscular rascal.

I'd go to the search feature above and find a brine,like Smokin' Okie's.You might also read his Brining 101,if you don't do much.

I'd brine longer than it says.A couple days wouldn't hurt it.I'd also inject some of the brine .

If it has lost much of its skin,you can wrap it in vinegar soaked cheesecloth.

I wouldn't smoke it too heavy.

Some folks, that cook a bunch of them, claim breast side down is the way to cook.

I don't say open the cooker a lot,but basting occasionally with an oily liquid can't hurt.

I'd cook 225�-250� to an internal of about 165�,don't overcook or it will dry out.

Hope this helps some.
