Thanks for the tips, guys. I couldn't get the temp up to 350, so I skipped
the water tray. Temp was probably around 250 tops. I covered them in
bacon, with salt, pepper, and olive oil. The first bird on the lower rack
got to 171. A bit dry, but excellent. Our guests actually liked the dryer,
smokier ends.
Thanks again
Mike
