    I don't get drippings on the WSM either. But with those oranges in the cavity and using the Franklin method and coating with butter at the end with it wrapped in a pan, you get some buttery turkey goodness in the pan, which I've added to gravy with good results. I still haven't cooked one on my offset. I needed to be able to ignore it (like another oven). Too many sides to tend fire.

    And a bowl-shot over a square of reheated dressing.

    I'm not hungry. But I'm gonna eat. Gonna let it sit and thicken up. Then I'm going to heat up a dressing square and use that instead of rice (rice is available for the remaining unhungry).

    It saves a lot of time and effort on Thanksgiving Day

    I'm not saying it wasn't user error on her part. While I prefer smoked turkey, I make a stunt turkey for stock, dripping, and vegetables two weeks ahead of time. I roast the stunt turkey. No bag, but water in the roasting pan and melted butter and a rub. It turns out well.

    My mom did this once when I was a kid. Most of what you describe was spot on, but she got no color or crispness in the skin.

    Yeah, that Honeysuckle White brand has been solid for us. Cheap as hell too.

    Like the clap.

    Confession. My turkey had zero heritage. It was a 24 lb, solution-injected, Honeysuckle Rose I bought at WalMart for $0.88 per pound. And I do this every year. And on the WSM with the Franklin video method posted above (with oranges up its ass and no brine because it came with one), it kills every time. I always have to remember how to cook it because I only do it once each year. But those cheap-ass turkeys smoke up just fine (and many of my relatives are good cooks who wouldn't go this route on if it hadn't proven solid).

    So, in the end, the plates had been set out on the table, and I didn't realize it. So when I was about to go through the buffet line, I grabbed a paper plate and didn't look back. It's a Thanksgiving miracle! We rented out the clubhouse at the assisted living facility where my mom lives (it's easier that transporting her to our house). Everything went well with no drama. Definitely a couple of "cousin walks" with the college age kids. Best part, minimal cleanup and no house guests.

    No pics, but I crushed it this year. WSM always does a great job and I can set the BBQ Guru to hold temp while I spend the morning getting the sides in order. Lots of compliments from guests, including my niece who told me that my turkeys have completely spoiled her, and the Friendsgiving attempts this year were quite inferior. I need to add her to the will. Edited to add that I really think the orange wedges in the carcass do a great job at evening out the cooking between breast and thighs. It also contributed a nice flavor to the end product.

    I overshot my time-target by about an hour. Thankfully, everyone is running late. Moved from the smoker to the oven and am encouraging it at 425F. Breastesess just hit 160

    I cooked my stunt turkey a couple of weekends ago at 425F the entire cook. It was about a 10 lb bird and was done in 2 hours. Meanwhile, my 20+ lb bird has been on the WSM at a steady 300 for nearly 2 hours this morning, and the breast just hit 100F internal. At 300, I usually plan on 4 hours for a 20 lb turkey.

    Thanksgiving Turkey Gumbo served over a dressing square is one of the special things in life.

    This is a rare interaction, and an unexpected invitation accept. There will be a cold shoulder at some point.

    Well, my wife's pecan pies she baked yesterday didn't turn out. So she made some more because she's a pro. Meanwhile, my mashed-potato-ruining, mamaw-bread-recipe-hoarding sister is bringing festive place mats and plates, which is fine and appreciated. But another relative later suggested that she would bring some T-giving-themed paper plates, which were left over for some church event. When I told my wife that I wasn't eating a meal I'd worked so hard on off of paper plates, she reminded me that said-relative might throw a fit later, to which I responded
