    Hey Mickey. Do you have any pics of the spatchcock turkey? I'd love to see them and hear your comments about the cook.

    Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

    Sorry but no pictures of spatchcocked turkey (did send the coffee rubbed turkey legs).
    This is very easy (hard part is the cutting out the backbone, and that's not hard).
    I leave out the turkey in the fridge overnight uncovered for the skin. An hour or so before grilling I do the rub.
    Add very little(cherry/pecan)once more very little to the fire.
    Use the adj rig high up at 400 / skin side up and never turn.
    A 12/13 lb bird is ready in a little over an hour.
    Nothing to it, easy.... Very good turkey.
    Could not get my mind around coffee on turkey, but MainEgg said it would work, she was and is always right...
    Would say good luck, but you will not need it.
