Can someone point me to the best instructions on cooking large turkey
in WSM please.
I've only done ribs and chicken so far.

Thanks

We did a turkey just the other day at 335 in the WSM, no water pan. It took
about 3 hours, but I don't know what size the turkey was; 12 pounds maybe?
We cooked it until 170 internal temp in the breast. It came out
beautifully.

"No water pan" meaning no water in the pan or no pan at all ?

No pan at all. Let the drippings fall where they may.

You always want to save your pan drippings to make gravy. Some of the best
gravy flavor come from this.
Happy Thanksgiving to All.

In a water pan? Um, yeah, sure. Try again, Kent.

That's only after you've brined the bird overnight on the patio or in
the garage. Works for Kent.
(YMMV)

It's working for me, right now. Overnite low is expected to be 23F. It
didn't get up to 40F all day. A 26# turkey has been brining since 7:00PM
last night. I'm planning on bringing it in at 7:00AM tomorrow to rinse
and dry before stuffing and getting on the K7 at 10:00AM.

Yeah, lucky me. There is an inch of snow on the ground and more coming.
That's all right. I haven't had a white Thanksgiving in quite a while.

The turkey rinsed and paper towel dry. It is in the fridge. I had to
take a shelf out to make room for it.

But in the mind of a purist, it's not real BBQ if there's anything
between the meat and the fire.

With the water pan in place it's really smoke roasted.

You use a Weber drip pan under the turkey. You don't add water to it.

The garage temperature in my location was 36F the night before Thanksgiving.
You can add some ice in a ziplock bag if there is concern about temp. during
the day.
Never had a problem.

You can't roast turkey with coals underneath. You will burn the skin through
and dry the meat out if you do. The cooking time it takes heat to get from
the surface to the center of the turkey makes that impossible.

You use a dry Weber drip pan, with coals in the Weber or any basket on
either side, and chunks of
wood on either side for the smoke flavor.
