Sorry, couldn't resist....
I'll be smoking one and smoking one. Fried turkey is ok but in the smoker it's magical.
It's 71 degrees here right now I think I'll put this Gurkha Centurion out of its misery tonight.

People just can't get it figured out...you don't drop a cold turkey into hot oil. Jezus.
LOL, Or kick the thing over in your yard. That BBQ lid would have worked nicely to smother the flames.
At least there was one voice of reason - "NO! Water won't help!"
Looks like they filled it with oil and didn't take into account the volume the turkey would displace. Oil pours over the top and runs onto the burner and woosh...sad thanksgiving.
PSA: put the turkey in the fryer when its cold and empty. Then pour water in until it reaches a safe level. Take the turkey out and scratch a mark on the inside of the fryer at the water line. Dump the water and fill with oil up to the line you made. Happy thanksgiving.
Oil fires are nasty. Be careful out there.

I love the rotisserie on my Weber too much to go back to deep fried. I just have to have the gravy. Stick a pan under the turkey with some Swanson's chicken broth. Toss a couple chunks of hickory on to the coals which are on the sides so cooking is indirect. Put a good size counter weight and I am able to cook 20lb birds with no problem. you do need to truss them up pretty good.
Rotisserie sounds awesome. Do you brine first? Brine is a game changer.

Same here!! No room to do any of these things at my house. And have been to my share of turkey fryer fires too.

Who?
I'm thinking about smoking one this year.. how long do y'all let it go for?
It really depends on the size of the bird. I smoked turkey legs for about 8 or 10 hours. A turkey breast took about 12 .
If I was smoking a whole turkey I would brine it Tuesday afternoon and start smoking it Wednesday afternoon. Depending on the size of the bird and your smoker temp it could easily take 16 hours or so. Please note I keep my smoker temp pretty low 220 to 250.

I have used a season brine and it is great but now I just use a salt brine. My leftovers are going to make me some home made pot pies. I will cook a 24lb bird for just me and the wife and the rest should yield me 8 pot pies plus a few other meals.

PSA:
Step 1 for frying a turkey.....
Buy 2 birds
Step 2 MOVE THE FRICKING THING AWAY FROM ALL BUILDINGS.
If it catches fire put a lid on it with a brick. You know the lid that you left in the box!?!? Yes that lid!
Step 3
Now that the fire is out. Check on the second bird in the oven. Remember to let it sit 45 mins before cutting once it's finished. You will thank me.
