Turkey looks great Mark!
How do the smoke tubes light? I have a smoke box in my 330 from a Genesis that sits below grate level that once the chips start it’s great. But it takes a while to get going but I’ve been pretty happy with the results.
When I switch to my platinum that box will no longer work. So I’m thinking a smoke tube it’s going to be in my future.

A propane torch (plumbers) works great. I find its best to hit it hard and get a good flame going (standing upright) and let it go for ~5 minutes --- if it goes out before that time - relight it. You need a pretty good sized cherry coal to keep it going. You have to be careful when you set the tube down in the grill so that the coal doesn't fall too far from the chips/pellets in the tube --- you can insert a nail thru the holes in the tube to help prevent this if needed. There is no reason to put the tube below the grates - its just more hassle that isn't needed.
I never had much luck with the boxes myself..... they would never stay lit.

For our fist rotisserie experience in decades, if not ever, I/we rate the out come a 8/9, only wishing the skin was a hair/tad bit crisper.
I'm very confident that the next bird will have a crispier skin
Bruce and all the others that offered up advice/suggestions, I thank you very very much
Merry Christmas

Wow, this build thread got hard for me to find but anyway, a little modifications, late last year, I was pulling out the grill from my lean2, that has a dirt floor and carpet.
The area was very uneven, as I was musseling the grill outside, it just about tipped over
Luckily I caught it in time before disaster happened.
At that point, I said she is way to top heavy and I would do something about the wheels in the spring.
Well, springs here so I widen the wheels 5 inches each, if it tips now, it will take a earthquake for that to happen.
I'm not sure if I will put a small brace on each wheel yet

Michael, I had a great snowmobile season, short but I managed 1015 miles between my two sleds.
My snow is completely gone, even the snow piles are gone, it was record warmth the other day at 76 degrees
But, looks like spring isn't quite here to stay yet
Sue and I are now in the quad/ATV mode
