We barbecued a turkey yesterday. Mr. Babe put an 18 lb. turkey on the rotisserie and slow-cooked it. He put a bit of apple wood in the smoker as well. He had a metal pan under the turkey to catch the drippings, and he used that to baste it inside and out while it was cooking. It was delicious.
Oh boy, my mouth was watering just reading your post. I HAD to be delicious!
Hope that you gave him the picture of the 'CORVETTE' that I found, for his birthday!
