Doing my first whole turkey ever today. Just shy of 11 pounds. Rubbed it inside and out w/Tony Chachere's Salt Free Seasoning and left it in the fridge overnight.

Goin on the WSM at 275.



About two hours in




Gonna start checking temps in about 45min or so. Will post the finished and plated pics later.
 
Quick shot coming off. Wrapped in parchment paper/foil and put in the cooler for a 30min rest.

 
Well, the 30 min rest wound up being an hour.

Carving into the breast.



Plated w/some brown rice



After thoughts-
Very happy with it especially considering it's my first whole turkey of any type. The seasoning added a very peppery flavor to everything(drippings were collected and added to the included gravy packet). While a very good flavor, I'm gonna have to think of something less peppery when it comes to the big day since not all of my family likes their food to have a nice bite to it.

Thanks for looking.
 
forgot to add. the WSM was loaded w/some of the last of my Wal-Mart branded RO briquettes and a few pecan pieces.
