    Hey, I just did my first ever turkey yesterday and I smoked it on the LBGE.

    I drew inspiration from the Malcom Reed video here:

    Here's the final product:



    The turkey was super moist and tender. One thing I didn't like was the skin wasn't as crispy as I wanted. I'll dry brine for longer and add some baking powder. The other thing I'll tweak is I didn't care for the smell/taste of the canola oil. I'll use EVOO spray next time.

    Grilling turkey is fun.

    Find a good 12 hour brine recipe and brine your bird.  I found that was an immediate huge improvement in the quality of the turkey I made.

    That's my only broad piece of advice on this..

    Have fun!
