Post turkey experience...16.5lbs took about 2.5hrs, ran two chunks maple against a little apple wood. Salt brined skin, ran S&G rub under it. For those who do butter under the skin - how well does that work out? Asking because I'm a little nervous about it being as oily as a store bought rotisserie but curious to try if it cranks up the taste just a bit more?

Definitely a fan of rubbing butter under the skin. Clarified butter is probably better but that being said I've just used regular butter at least 3 times with no problems whatsoever. Usually I soften it and blend in some herbs (I have a small herb garden so for poultry I'll put in sage, rosemary, etc) and rub the whole outside as well as on the breasts underneath the skin. Absolutely fantastic. Also always use more garlic than you think you should. Some people like to stuff lemons or limes in the cavity too, which I am never against. Apples work too!
