Try to find some drummettes. Smaller than the massive legs I've been finding. Make one hell of a smoked hot wing.

Thanks Ron. Got it. That is what I did.

Try injecting some strained Italian dressing instead of the store bought marinade. You might be suprised. If you make the dressing a couple of days before, add fresh garlic and refridgerate before you strain. Also, try to allow the turkey to sit for at least 12 hours in the ice box if possible.

I've never smoked a turkey and then deep fried it before.....sounds interesting though. I've always done one way or the other but my prep is the same for both ways. I inject it with a creole butter injection and then rub it down between the skin and the meat. Always comes out good either way but there's nothing better than that first slice off a deep fried bird.

I definately agree with this. I've used both the regular Italian and the Red Wine Vinagraitte made by Wishbone. Both work excellent!
