Smoking was the only way I prepared a turkey - until I learned about
deep-frying! I've never gone back except one year when we had a large
group and I did one each way. The only left overs were from the
smoked turkey.
I've never deep fried a turkey. I started putting the turkey on a rotisserie over charcoal. Wow. The
Weber will handle a 15lb'er pretty well. They come off much more moist than in the smoker. Some
smoke flavor can be added by putting some aluminum foil wrapped chips on top of the charcoal.

Try it and you'll never go back. A 12# turkey is done in less than an
hour and tastes great! It's not greasy at all. The hot oil seems to
seal it up quickly. I've never tried injecting mine like many do - they
tasted too good already.
