I haven't done it, but I'd consider it an adequate challenge. I'd spatchcock
the birds and smoke roast them at 300 > 350F until nearly done and then
finish under the broiler ( or on a hot grill ) to crisp up the skin some. I
have
a pair of vertical racks for birds of that size and that's what I use. Smoke
is nice when you get it right. Too little doesn't beat the oven and too much
makes dog food.
