I think it turned out awesome....first 30 min. temp was 400 and after a few adjustments it held 350 the rest of the cook. Thighs were 175 and breast 165 after 2 1/2 hours....perfect. Nice and moist and the little bit of oak was all through the bird. Used a buttery maple glaze at the end. Had blackeyed pea salad, cheesy pots, homemade onion bread, and sweet potato cake.

Looks phenomenal Deb. Nice job.

Do I see a WSM charcoal ring in that kettle, or is it just a drip pan?
 
Looks good. Turkey is yummy. Just may have to pick one up here after seeing yours.

Thanks for sharing.

On the maple, I just melted about 1 1/2 tbl. spoon of butter with 1/2 cup maple syrup, added blk pepper and garlic and brushed it on two different times.....and I could really taste it on that skin too. I'm not a cook that measures a whole lot, unless I bake, and also I kind of just pull out stuff from the cupboard and fridge and see if it works.....sounded good to ME

Looks great!!! I have a turkey in the freezer that is begging to be put on my rotisserie. How long did it take to cook your turkey?
