Instructions: I have only smoked one turkey on my brinkmans water smoker, but this is what I did:
Taste the rub ... non of the ingredients should overpower another.. if one does, adjust....

Rub the turkey inside and out, and refrigerate over night.

Cook the turkey breast side down.... Mop when you adjust your fire.

I used plain water in my water pan, and cooked for around 24 hours as I recall....

When the turkey was nearly done, I brought it in the house to finish in the oven. (Needed the gravy!)

This is the same way I do chicken, and havent received one complaint yet.....

Note that all my ingredients are approximate amounts, and I dont always use all of them... Its all to taste, and all depends on what I got... Always starts with paprika and garlic though....
