Dirty bird and a ham.

I did a practice run this past weekend using the apple cider recipe. Things turned out ok but the bird looked dirty. Well it actually was dirty. You could wipe the "dirt" off of the skin. I was a little afraid to take the turkey out of the fridge early enough to let it warm up and so I put it in the cooker cold. I also used vegetable oil on the skin. Another posibility was that I was a little too careless when I stirred the coals. Did the temp of the bird cause the smoke to condense on the skin? Was the vegetable oil a mistake? Did I get too excited about stirring the coals? One more question and then I'll shut up. If I add an 8 pound ham to the top rack when I cook my next turkey how much extra cooking time should I expect? Thanks for your time.

It was more than likely the stirring of the ashes or if it was windy that can make the ashes fly. Turkey I would cook hotter than normal and the cook time should be short enough that stirring should not be needed.
Adding the ham will increase cook time but not by much, maybe an hour.
