Probably will a little. You will be fine tho, given she has a little fat left on her.

If you are gonna smoke it, i wouldnt smoke the entire cook... Smoke 1/2 half the time and just cook indirect heat the rest. I usually coat them pretty good a dry rub od your choosing. We have put apples n whatnot in the cavity, but im not sold it makes a difference. Coat inside w rub too.

I love a good PWR (Piney Woods Rooter, where I come from). Scrape it next time, but it will b fine anyway... Make sure ur fire isnt too hot & u watch it towards the end so its right when u pull it off. I like'm fallin apart when we take off the pit.

Thanks. I'm gonna throw a couple chunks in the fire at the start but not add any more. I was gonna cook indirect around 225.

After u smoke, 30lb may be small enough to cook in a big alum pan... If u can catch some of the fat drippings, you can assist it in not drying out if it cooks the 2nd half in a pan.... We do that sometimes at the camp on a big pit when we skin the little ones rather than scrape. Let us know how it turns out
