If you have rods and hooks, then, you have almost everything you need. The missing link is butcher's twine (any clean, heavy cotton cord will work...no synthetic fibers...they could melt). Tie the legs together at the knuckle with a cross-over several times for strength so it looks like a figure-8 (tie the wings to the breasts, too, if you wish) and put one hook between the legs. Hang legs up, breast down. Turkeys can be smoked this way, also.

Huh...cool trick!!! Everyone needs something to believe in: I believe I'll steal that one for my maiden voyage with a rotisserie kit for my Weber 18 OTG kettle. Just getting ready to start the prep and get the fire started in a bit...with a wing-tuck my bird won't have bikini-lines on the breasts...LOL!!!Yep this is how I do it, except I don't tie the wings. I tuck the tips back over the wing. This photo shows the wings tuckedIf you have rods and hooks, then, you have almost everything you need.
