^^^ what temps you cook at?
I have raised my temps to 350+ for the last hour to help crisp my skin but I prefer to sear it over red hot coals.

I like to spray apple juice on it to get that good crisp taste

I started at 230 and finished at 325. Might try searing next time. Thanks for the tip.

Interesting I basted with a bit of butter. I think next time I will try this.

I've been wondering about that finish to crisp things up. I have a vertical smoker and saw where others cranked it up at the end to 350ish for something like chicken. If it works OK, it would save having to fire up the charcoal grill just for crisping purposes.

The apple juice makes it tasty and crisp so it doesn’t come out like chewin a shoe sole.
