Taking a trip down BBQ memory lane and remembering the times we have done a whole turkey on the Weber Kettle.
This method works for camping or at home.
We set up a new blog category here: Whole Turkey On The Weber
How we set up the grill here: Thanksgiving – One Week Later
We rotate about one quarter turn and add a few briquets every hour.
Many suggestions are posted on the web.

Our buyers inspect and select only the leanest cuts of meat for the grill – Seal Rock
If the plane crashes and the search party does not arrive for 3 or 4 days, you may be tempted to eat this:

We have had a tradition over the years, where we invite people over and cook a turkey a week or more before Thanksgiving. People may be more available this way, because they can visit with us, but still get to their own family gatherings on Thanksgiving Day. Picking an off day/week also allows for less crowded stores, roads, ferry and air terminals, etc.
We were on the road to visit family last week. Today, it’s just the two of us and a decent weather day in our area. A turkey on the weber is a family tradition. We are always happy with the finished product.
