Thanks, from the UK, for posting this great video. We're going to be trying this at Christmas this year, rain or no rain.

Thanks for all the feedback. One thing I should emphasize: every grill is different, so you will only learn the characteristics of your grill over time. That's why it is important to keep a journal, so you can remember what you did previous times. This year, I tried putting butter under the skin, along with the spices, and that worked out especially well.

Great info! Today's turkey turned out beautifully. It cooked a little more quickly than I expected, but turning off all but one burner for the last half hour made the timing work out just right.

This worked like a charm! Thanks for posting, The one thing I didn't realize is that you need to replace the wood chips a few times over the 5-6 hours Turkey tased amazing!

Well it turned out pretty well. The breast was nice and moist and everyone certainly enjoyed it. I kept the temp at a constant 275 but I think next time I will bump it up to 290 to shorten the cook time and improve the browning.

Thanks for the video and the recipe!!

Well I'm about to try your technique in a couple of hours. I'll post my thoughts after supper tonight. Hopefully I will be "thankfull" on this Thanksgiving...LOL.

Ianalyzer, ah, good point. That might be the subject for another video (I was limited in the time for this one). Anyway, I leave that part with my wife, as she is better at that part than me. If I had to do it, I would just take the drippings. Add more chicken broth to get enough liquid. Then mix some corn starch or flour with a little water and drip it slowly into the boiling drippings until it starts to thicken. Don't overdo it though or your gravy will come out too thick, like gelatin :-)

Excellent video. The only thing missing was the gravy sauce preparation ...
