MURDERED the turkey......
We had a 15# bird to cook today. I wanted to brine it and smoke it on the kettle rotisserie. My wife said she wanted me to keep it simple and just do it inside, "no time for BBQ today". Okay......so I throw it in the oven uncovered at just a little too much heat and a little too long. Just enough for it to look like I tried but still taste like something grandma would make. I guarantee she won't ask me to do it this way again. The stellar gravy made it barely edible! Mission accomplished!

So, you purposefully ruined food to make a point?

Never said it was ruined, just not a cook that will be asked for again! It will all be eaten, and next time it will be enjoyed; smoked and spun!

I did a 14# turkey for my crew at work the other night in a kettle, and it was moist and deicious...lots of good comments (was told after the fact by one guy he thought there was no way I could get that bird done on the kettle without drying it out completely) I did a "dry brine" on it for 24 hours, then rested in fridge uncovered for ~16 hours, spatched it, butter/rub under the skin, rub on the underside 2 full chimneys of RO lump with a little bit of hickory, indirect, it was done in 1:45 I did have to turn it ~halfway through bcz the skin closes the heat was getting close to burning 155° in the breasts, 175° in the thighs made good practice for the 24# beast I've got in my freezer turkey.jpg (sorry for the blurry pic...that's why I didn't post this the other day)

I'm thinking that you've already lost the battle if your wife doesn't think it's worth the time to BBQ (and you have to purposely sabotage the cook to demonstrate the difference.)

I don't get that. A 15# turkey will take the same amount of time at a given temp no matter whether it's in the oven or the smoker. Brining and other prep time also isn't dependent on how it's cooked.
Ah well. I've been married long enough to know that the wife's logic and the husband's logic sometimes don't jive.
