Well, I have been wanting for quite some time to smoke a turkey. Since my local food mart was having a sale (Butterball young premium turkeys 99 cents/lb), I decided to give itt a go. Went with no brine, rubbed her down with simple S&P, and filled cavity with orange and lemon quarters. Got the UDS up to 335ish (used 1 big pecan chunk just before putting her on).....and let her rip

After 3.5hours....she was done........rest and plate

Incase your wondering.....she was 11.75lbs........and BEARLY fit in my USD....which was the lowest rack at 7inches from lid........thanks foor all the help everyone
 
Great looking feast, love the color on your turkey too! Nice job!
 
Looks great. Except that I rub the skin with oil, that is how the majority of my turkeys have been cooked.
 
Not a huge turkey fan- I can handle it a couple of times a year... but I'd hit that.
 
Never smoked one without brine - Looks good,
