Vinny,The above spatchcock was done by bringing the temp up above 450 dome, and searing the bird skin-side down for about 10 minutes, then flipping, and closing the vents so the temp dropped to about 350. I don't have my notes handy, but I recall that it was about 40 minutes to reach 170 in the thigh. The skin was really crisp, but the bird remained moist. I don't recall the rub.gdenby
