How did your Thanksgiving bird turn out?

[FLBentRider]

Assuming you smoked a turkey for (US) Thanksgiving.

Best ever, but didn't smoke it so I didn't vote. 

Brined, loaded with an herb-butter mix between the skin and the meat and rubbed the outside with the same, then roasted.  It was perfect!

I changed directions 3 times.

Ended up doing an non-enhanced 18lb'er.

No injection, just a Chachere's More Spice Rub.

Put it on at 3 in morn.

Took it out of the Bradley at 8:30 with a breast IT of 161*

Heavy FTC. and we all went for a 3 hour ride (use to take me 4 hrs ;D )

Unwrapped to carve and Breast was 167* and still hot!

Very juicy. 85% of it was gone.

Didn't cook, and it wasn't smoked so I didn't vote, but it was about average.

Did a breast on the Bradley and a full bird on my Lynx rotisserie. Both were good, but the Bradley breast was much more moist. And of course, the smoke.... loved it ;D

Had the element in mine go out two hours into the process so I had to finish the bird in the oven
Still had some decent smoke flavor, I used the Pepper, Tyme and Rosemary bisquettes turned out pretty good.

I didn't smoke either and so I won't vote.  I've already had a couple of compliments saying ti was the best turkey tyeh ever had.

It came lightly brined/injected so I left it alone.  It went into the Big Easy (about 13.5 pounds) and came out golden and juicy.  I did kinda miss having some smoke on it.
