Gee thanks Wampus. Just what I needed to see, another thread that I just got addicted to. I don't know how I missed that thread this far.

Whatcha talking about "bags to hang it in"? I am intrigued. How is the turkey oriented in the bag?

Depends what type of smoker you have. You need a vertical smoker. Here is a picture. Hanging it in the bag allows the smoke to penetrate evenly throughout the bird.

Anybody have any good advice on what to inject it with. I'm gonna look on youtube on how to spatch cock it.

Thanks everybody!

I would inject it with Paul Newman's Italian Salad Dressing. Depending on the type of injector you are using, you may have to strain it first. I tried switching to Cajun Butter injection once, and it wasn't as well received in this household. I have also been known to use lemon pepper shake for the rub. May also want to try Paul Prudhomme's Poultry Magic mixed with some clarified unsalted butter. Good luck on what ever you decide.
