Gas Barbeque Method: Roast the turkey in a shallow foil pan either on very low or indirect heat. The bbq should remain covered during cooking. You can add wood chips to a smoking pan to get more flavourful results. It should take anywhere from 2.5- 4.5 hours depending on the size of the bird and bbq temp.
A FIVE STAR rating for this roasting method Chef. Yesterday I roasted a 13lb. (5.9kg) bird guided by your video. The turkey was not stuffed, and I used alder wood chips in a smoke box when roasting at 375 F. I took the bird off the grill after two hours when the temp. probe showed 165 F. and tented with foil for 30 min.
The results were unparalleled with any previous bird I've made in the past. (oven or grill) The turkey was very juicy and not dry at all.
Thanks Chef

I find that if you keep the temperature fairly high, 375F and remove the turkey when it reaches an internal temp of 174F it stays very moist without brining.
Brining is a great way to infuse flavours into the meat and will add moisture. The results are different than straight roasting and I would recommend both methods.

Always brine a turkey before cooking it. Other wise you will end up with dry meat.
