That looks delicious!! My stomach is growling for a bite!! Excellent post. I will make thanksgiving week.

As for the mop, I think I'll go for it. I use a gasser, so I'm thinking for cranking up the temp when I get close to my target IT.

What do you have in mind for the mop sauce in other recipes?

I would like to add some bourbon to it and use on chicken or how about some smoked bourbon BBQ beans? I'm also thinking it would work well with a breakfast style sausage ABT...maybe a lil mixed in with the cream cheese or brush on after wrapping in bacon? That's my idea
 
Looks like it turned out great! Nice smoke!

I can't say much on trussing the bird. I prefer to spatchcock poultry. It allows the bird to lay flat and they cook evenly. I can't remember the last time I didn't spatchcock a whole bird before cooking it.

Thanks! I'm thinking of mopping the entire thing, then maybe throwing it under the broiler for a few mins to give it a high-heat crisp (not sure if this will work or not).... unfortunately my half-mop method just made for awkward looking pictures.

I've never made a fattie before and was thinking about coating the outside with this. And ribs - I think doing a 3-2-1 rib method with this on the outside would be great. And ABT's as well, as you mentioned. I think I might give some ribs another try next...

Thanks as well! I've never spatchcocked before. I've seen it done and watched YouTube videos on it... just never tried it myself. I think I might try it next.
