I need to Q a turkey. I've looked in the recipe section and the only thing there is a basic brine.

I have plenty of alder and apple to use for the fire, so no problem there. And I assume it will cook like a chicken, at about 1/2 hour per pound.

I'm planning to do a pre-thanksgiving trial run this weekend to see how it turns out. I want to test out the method before the weather gets nasty, so I have one less thing to fight.

Not sure how to cook it? On it's back? Stick a coffee can up it's hole? Stuff it full of herbs? Should a stick a pork shoulder over it to keep it basted?
