    Smoking then Roasting a Turkey. Anyone tried it? Suggestions?

    Smoking then Roasting a Turkey. Anyone tried it? Suggestions?

    How to catch turkey drippings on my Brinkman Gourmet Charcoal Smoker?

    Yup I did jut that a couple years ago... Take Onions, Carrots, Celery, Granny Smith Apples all chopped up in a roasting pan with some turkey or chicken stock in a roasting pan under your turkey. When done, puree it all and use it to make your gravy like you normally wood. Nice smoke flavor...
