I smoke-roast mine on a Traeger at 350.
A little poultry rub and sea salt and cracked pepper. I slip a few pats of butter under the skin.
I agree with pablo...........let it sit uncovered in the fridge for 18-24 hours. It makes the skin less rubbery and I think helps it cook more evenly.
I cook it until I think it is done. And then I cook it about 30 minutes more. Meat just never tends to dry out in a Traeger. That is part of the charm of the machine.
Anyway.............that's my take.
