Turkey on Rotisserie

[danbono]

Hi all
I'm going to smoke a small turkey 10/14 lbs on a WSM 22" with a rotisserie..I'm thinking 300-350 for a few hours? Sound about right? Direct or indirect heat?
I'm looking to get crisp skin?
Thanks Dan

I would use wood & cook at high heat direct, much like a Santa Maria grill. The only difference would be you won’t be able to raise & lower the grate, but you can control the fire. I would put just enough wood on the fire to keep the flames just kissing the turkey. It will be a babysitting job, but I think you will be happy with the results. Also I would leave the water pan out so the flames get to the turkey & the drippings fire up the wood, much like a UDS or a SM Grill.

Hi All Once again using the rotisserie on my WSM 22 my temps got away for me. Temps were going good for awhile then, once I opened the lid @ 2:08 mark they took off.
