This is the first Turkey that I have ever smoked. I took it to a family dinner with two other birds, one infared deep fried and one traditional baked. I don't believe that anyone was having a competition, but I declared myself the winner. Everyone kept telling my how delicious my bird was. I used the apple brine recipe found in the cooking topics on this page and a dry rub for turkey's that I found on another site. The recipe called for vegetable oil or butter rubbed on the turkey, I used a little olive oil to substitute. The only major problem was there was no left-overs.
