Very cool ... did you brine the bird before smoking or just put a rub on it?

I'm waiting to hear the results - never done a turkey before, but want to!  Sounds like a winning plan!

Great color, Rob!  How'd the inside turn out?  Tender and juicy?

I'm gonna have to do a turkey now, Rob!  My only problem is fitting one in a #1!  I could probably do about a 12 lb bird, but that would be it.  This is inching me toward upgrading to a #2 or 3! ;)
