Has anyone tried a recipe that looks like this? I am considering this for the
weekend, but changing the starting temps to around 225 deg. I found this on the net,
and it sounds pretty tasty. This came from a list of recipes for the Big Egg thingy.

Gary's Hawaiian Turkey

15-pound turkey

Brine:
2 quarts cold water
1-1/2 cups soy sauce
1 cup lemon juice
2 cups brown sugar
1 large onion, sliced
1 large piece fresh ginger, crushed
6 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon allspice
1 tablespoon black pepper

Submerge turkey in brine mixture ; soak 8 to 12 hours. Smoke in covered grill on low (180 degrees) 2-1/2 hours or more, until bird is dark
brown. Aim for a smoldering fire made with a small amount of charcoal topped with wet wood chips; use tongs to add charcoal, a few
pieces at a time. Inexperienced cooks should use a thermometer to measure cooker's interior temperature.

Then, cook on high (300 degrees) 2 more hours; add a lot of charcoal and open air vents. Meat thermometer should read 180 degrees.
Makes 18 7- to 8-ounce servings.
