Success!! or just about anyway....
...... the younger generation(s) were late arriving from The Smoke, so meal was a little later than planned. No problem, apart from my entertaining the spectators by wearing my headtorch in the latter stages ......
About two-and-a-half hours cooking, then a final "smoking" with a handful or two of woodchips and herbs to finish off. Despite the size of the bird, we fed well and at least as much again left for a cold supper tonight!
Smoke on, smoke on, GO!
The Finished Bird ......
..... which tasted as good as it looked!!
This might just become a Teetering Towers tradition.......
