Farm<\/strong><\/em><\/a> in Portville, NY, close by so I\u2019ve ordered one that is under 14 lbs.\u00a0 Before preparing the turkey for marinating overnight, I first need to remove the parts that are commonly found inside the turkey.\u00a0 This includes the neck, heart, liver, and gizzard which is part of the turkey&#8217;s digestive tract.\u00a0 These parts do make for great stock so if you can, save them to add to a stockpot down the road.<\/p>\n<p>Once the organs and neck are removed, it\u2019s important to wash the entire turkey under running water.\u00a0 After a thorough wash, pat dry with some paper towels and place in a shallow pan for the rub application.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong><em>Herb and Spice Rub<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<div

you can see in some of the photos, this was a cold day at the grill, with a temperature below 25\u00b0F.\u00a0 I prepare my LP\/Gas grill by first removing one of the grill grates, exposing two of my burner shields.\u00a0 To one of the shields I place 3 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smokinlicious.com\/wood-chunks.html\">double filet wood chunks from <\/a><strong>SmokinLicious\u00ae.<\/strong>\u00a0 Now I lite only two burners; the one with the wood chunks and the one directly next to that.\u00a0 I set these burners to medium heat to start.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Just before I\u2019m ready to grill, I check the temperature readout and adjust my heat setting until I hit my target temperature of 325\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<p>Time to add the rubbed turkey to the unlit side of the grill and my water pan right next to the bird.\u00a0 I insert a thermometer and close the lid.\u00a0 Basically, for the next couple of hours, I just need to monitor that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooksillustrated.com\/how_tos\/6656-why-use-a-water-pan-in-your-grill\">water pan<\/a> has enough hot water in it and the bird gets spritz with water to keep the skin moist.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Tasting Notes:<\/em><\/strong><em> Although I\u2019ve placed my water pan to the side of my turkey, between the lit and unlit sides of the grill, you can use this as a drip

temperature of 325\u00b0F and hot water in the drip pan, you won\u2019t need to stay with the grill during most of the turkey\u2019s cooking time.\u00a0 My skin has crisped up thanks to maintaining moisture both on the bird\u2019s skin and in the cooker with my water pan.\u00a0 I remove the turkey and take it to the kitchen where I cover it for about 30 minutes prior to carving.\u00a0 It\u2019s super tender, moist, with a crunch to the skin.\u00a0 The best part is that the smoke is subtle and does not over power the fresh meat.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finecooking.com\/article\/lesson-4-the-two-zone-fire\">two-zone method<\/a> of smoking is perfect when your feeding a variety of tastes.\u00a0 Those that tend to avoid smoked foods will find this full of flavor that is well balanced due to our rub and consistent cooking temperature.\u00a0 My turkey of 13-1\/2 pounds took just about 4 hours to finish with very little effort on my part, even with a 22\u00b0F outdoor temperature and wind chill.\u00a0 The best part is my oven was free to cook a bunch of side dishes so everything was timed perfectly for the
