I had all but given up on this bird, but thanks to new and fresh tips I have a renewed interest to try this pig out. Weather is horrible here though. It's currently -10F with a west wind blowing 10mph. This puts the windchill at -29F[:'(][&o]. Feels like spring will never come, but I'll have the splat ball bird ready for even a mild day.

Thanks for all the new tips and advice. There might be hope yet.
Anyone here from Steve Campbell lately?
