Are you smoking anything else in it? You always want to put poultry on the bottom so no juices drip onto other meats you're cooking a/c cross contamination. If by itself, put it on top where your highest heat is to get it through 40° to 140° in 4 hours if it is uncured.
Thanks Pops. I'm not cooking anything else so I should raise the bird? I have a masterbuilt electric 30. It's on the bottom now, but I can raise it if you feel that is a better idea. This is my first bird...hope to have some nice pictures later.
