first whole turkey

Sounds like a plan to me. I like to inject with creole butter myself and I prefer to fry rather than smoke.
 
Put some rub under the skin and call me when it's done.
 
I just did my first whole turkey Sat - Beer Can Style - I injected with butter/ Italian dressing/ rub mix - I pulled it 173* Breast and 178* Drum Stick but when I cut into Breast liquid butter mix poured out - I had over injected I guess - had to slice several slits in Breasts and pop in oven for 30 minutes to dry it out then it was pretty good

So.......easy on injections .......LOL
 
I think theonly thing you are missing is...............me! Looks like a winner to me,

3 hours @ 275-300*. I was worried the thigh wouldn't get done but it was 180 when the breast hit 165. Gonna let it rest for a bit but I am excited about it.

Turkey was great you can see the little pockets of hot sauce and butter in the thigh, there weren't any in the breast but the flavor was there.

Did the ribs 3-1 1/2-1/2 and they were right on
