    terry,
    I bought the Spanek set of vertical fowl roasters 5 years ago.[p]My family will eat only vertically smoked fowl. All the juices that flow through are caught in a pan & disposed.[p]We cook the stuffing in the oven. We buy canned juices to flavor the stuffing.[p][p][p]

    terry,
    I do them (Turkey breasts) indirect at about 330-350 for 3-4.5 hours depending on size (cook to 165 meat temp). I kick up temp to almost 450 for the last 10 minutes to crisp up the skin! Have never done a whole bird (other than chicken).[p]Did a breast today for a party my wife is having for the girls. This is a picture of one I did a few weeks ago![p]P1010005.JPG [p]

    Just curious - if you do beer butt chicken with a 12 oz beer - can you do beer butt turkey with a quart ???

    Nessmuk,
    Why don't you use the collected juices for gravy or flavoring other cooks? That juice tastes wonderful. It has a nice smokey taste to it, and if you put lots of goodies in the drip pan, it really kicks it up a notch (so to speak)[p]
