If you have good poultry shears, you should try "spatchcock" method -- cut the spine out and spread it out meat-up. The body cavity wall takes the brunt of the direct heat.
Nowadays I do that with all of the whole birds. Thanksgiving around here is a hoot; two 16-ish pound birds in the grill billows out some serious fog (smoke) and the whole 'hood smells *so* good!

It was Steve. One of the highlights of the Summer. We like the NYS Fair. Oh, forgot to mention bonus round. I always got my NYS Hunting tags at the DEC booth. Anterless permits are by lottery and I've always been lucky at the fair. This year I got 2 in different DMU's of my choice.
