Tried this again as I wasn’t happy with my previous cook, in particular the weird crackling texture from the kettle grill grate.
Cooked vertically in a charcoal bullet smoker for 2 hours at around 150C/300, and then finished with a super close direct cook for crackling and a bit of browning on the sides and underside.

Nice work; I didn’t know you could get crackling like that on this kind of smoker. Very cool!
BEAUTIFUL
You are a hero to my feed 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow! The skin looks amazing on this!
that direct heat finish is the move – the kettle grate was probably too far from the coals and uneven. looks like you nailed it this time
