Crash's is a 5000. It's supposed to take a 15 pound turkey, too. Note
the close clearance at the top of ours. That's an 11 pound bird,
sternly trussed. If you want to cook a 15 pounder, you'll have to
remove the wings and legs first.

Oh, and something we figured out after a lot of cussing and screaming.
Put the bird on the double spit and *then* truss it. Otherwise, the
strings slide all over when you impale the bird, and you have to do it
all over again.

We got two baskets, 8 kabob skewers, the strange gloves, the injector,
chicken stretchy ties, and the best meat thermometer I've ever used.

ROFLMAO! I think I'd grab the machine and Crash would grab the
accessories. We work as a team around here.

Crash's brother bought one some time ago, used it once, and didn't
like how the chicken tasted. He cooks for a living. Has he never
heard of *seasonings*? Anyway, we're going to try to finagle it from
him and give it to my daughter, who could live on nothing but chicken
and potatoes.

Please let us know how things work out this weekend!
