Its still snowing here in the northeast so still
waiting to try my new rotisserie and was wondering for the guys who know what would make for the best bird (brined of course) spatchcocked and cooked indrect or on the rotisserie. What do you guys like as cookbooks
I have about 16 BBQ cookbooks, my favorites are
the ones written by Chris Schlesinger and John Willoughby, then I have some from Bobby Flay
Steve Raichlin and Weber.

Here´s one out OF Book #3 for "LEMON-CURRY ROTISSERIE CHICKEN":

Marinade:
Grated Zest and Juice of 1 Lemon
2 Tsps. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tsp. Curry Powder
1 Tsp. Dijon Mustard
1 Tsp. Dried Thyme
1 Tsp. Grandulated Garlic
3/4 Tsp. Kosher Salt
1/2 Tsp. Ground Cayenne Pepper

1 Whole Chicken, 31/2-4 pounds

Prepare a 3 Zone Split fire(equal piles of charcoal) for medium heat with a disposible aluminum pan in the middle.

Marinate in Refrigerator for 8-12 hours and then cook on a Rotisserie over Indirect Medium Heat until the internal temperature reaches 180Degrees in the thickest part of the thigh(not touching the bone), about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Add about 5-6 Unlit Charcoal Briquettes(or equivalent amount of lump charcoal) to each pile about every 30-45 minutes
Enjoy!!

Thanks Richard, will take a look at some of the
books recommended, always like to keep the BBQ library full. How do you like the Smokenator.
I picked up some fire bricks but have not had
a chance to try them yet, looking soooo forward
to spring.
