Thanksgiving smoked turkey

[Drew]

We roasted our 18 lb turkey in the Big Green Egg this year using the "Mad Max Technique". If you google mad max technique you'll see the links to the three Youtube videos explaining this method. I think this method produced a very moist, aromatic, flavorful turkey but I didn't use the amout of butter that he suggests. Everyone really got into the turkey! The one trick that I liked was icing the breasts for 30 minutes prior to roasting which allowed the breasts to roast slower resulting in 166 degrees for the breast and 180 for the thighs when I pulled the turkey.
