Turkey

[Mickbear76]

Planning on smoking a turkey for the first time on Saturday.  Anybody have any advice???

I use a weber with a tinfoil bowl under the bird to capture and hold all the drippings.And put the charcoal around the perimeter of grill so it heats the collected drippings giving a "wet smoke"  Just got to keep an eye on it and use the dampers so it does not get so hot as to dry out the drip pan

bucket. rince good, smoke till breast hits 165.
