Dee, since the dark meat needs to get to 175° and the breasts need to be 160°~165°
is why I think the dark meat should be on top.
it's the same reason I always cook whole chickens legs up in the SRG
if I was cooking a turkey in the SRG it would be legs up too
plus the dark meat renders it's fat over the breasts  ;)

Jack, That video is excellent.  I'm going to cut my turkey up that way and do it in the SRG after brining, injecting and rubbing.  Thanks, Dee

Looks great, may have to do that and cook it on the pellet grill.
