Mike -

See turkey talk, It came out great. I used Mad Max's recipe and used the Apple brine. Word of warning, use a second thermometer on the grill to see what your surface temperature is. I cooked my turkey at 450 degrees because my temp gauge was reading low on the lid. My turkey was 18 pounds, and it threw off the reading on the gauge on the lid. Most people say a 11-12 lb turkey is better suited for the performer, and I would have to agree. Go light on the smoke wood, since turkey absorb a lot of smoke. I think the skin got really dark due to the high temperatures.

Here is my turkey:

Thanks guys I will brine the bird and use a roasting pan and rack -don`t think I can find apple or maple wood around here(need to mail order some) so looks like hickory.
