No, haven't tried it and wouldn't recommend it. One of the troubles
with the Cgh is that it is hard to develop flavors with such a small,
immature bird. The low-temp roasting method is very unlikely to
produce anything close to a crispy skin.

Victor Sack has several times suggested a method whereby you
spatchcock the bird, season and brush it with oil, and fry it in a big
cast iron pan weighted down with another heavy pot filled with cans or
bricks. You might try googling the group for it. I tried it once and
thought it was an improvement over my previous roasting/grilling
methods, but I'd have to do it a few more times to get the heat just
right. -aem
