[DIY] smoked turkey

smoking is good but can be considered harmful as the particles in the smoke is not good for you--for those of you that are health conscious.
this year for thanksgiving, i used the oiless turkey fryer and cooked 2-14lb turkeys in 3hrs each. just as good as the oil fried ones and no mess. brine the bird for 12 hrs, rub with a little olive oil, put'em in the cooker, insert the thermometer and check every hr. i splurged and got a remote thermometer this year and it gives me a "buz" when the temp i've set is reached so it's really set and forget until done. and i don't have the 5 gal of oil to do something with.
