I will say I have tried the 500* thing and it does work. I got it from one of Alton Brown's turkey recipes from the food network. It produced a really moist bird. Granted I did this in the oven before I had my egg but I imagine I could crank up the heat in the egg for the first 30 min. as well. I will say the 500* oven and the oiled up bird did set off my smoke detectors though. Another reason to love cooking outdoors.
