Got the bird in the smoker 45 mins. ago. No oil on the skin, just rub.
Still had a couple ice clods in it, that melted enough to extract. Let him float in the sink for a few, to soften him up, got the smoker hot, and put him on.
In 3 hours, will dump out the fat within the cavity, and pour in a couple shots of tequila with a shot of lime juice. (Trying to make gravy with smoked fat drippings, is like icing down a cocktail with frozen briquettes.) Boiling the neck, heart and gizzard, for the gravy-- olive oil for the roux ain't gonna kill anybody.
Tequila mockingbird, FTW!
