is this cheating?

Couple Thanksgivings ago I put the turkey into my WSM at 250 with quite a bit of Hickory for one hour, then into my oven to finish and it was awesome! Smokey and juicy with crispy skin.

I did it this way because I didn't have the time to tend it, maybe not the proper way to do it but it came out fine and I had all day to spend with my guests. Have a great turkey-day folks!

I normally cook mine the whole time in my WSM. Is it cheating? I wouldn't say so. I would maybe reccoemend a little more time in the smoker for a more smokey flavor but to each their own!
As long as it tastes good and your guests are happy you are doing a great job!

It's not cheating. It's cooking. Do it the way that works for you!

It's cheating, but who cares? LOL Cheaters usually win! Enjoy the bird, my friend.

No such thing as cheating when it comes to cooking.

Just put some liquid smoke on it and place it in the oven the whole time. No need to move the bird from one to the other.

We only have one oven so I like to leave the bird on the grill the whole time to leave the oven free for more important things like pie.
