>probably 6 or so birds a month.

I heard on the news yesterday that the US consumes 9 billion chickens per year. Looks like you're doing your part :)

Those look great.

OR... a bit shy of 2-1/2 birds per month for every person. Sounds reasonable, but someone is helping take care of my allotment.

Was the skin leathery at 225?  I've heard its better to either just cook it at normal oven temp (basically using the pit as a wood fired oven which still imparts flavor) or at least to finish at a higher temp to avoid leathery skin.

The skin is leathery when I first take them off but after an hour in foil its perfect.

looks good.  I usually do 6-8 at a time.  I split them in half which makes for easier freezing and reheating.

Sounds like a "Blood Pressure Rocket" to me. ..... 26oz?

It's not a rub - you use it like salt.  The nutrition info on the box says 350gm sodium per 1.1oz serving, which translates to about 80% salt.
