1
Pat turkey dry, place turkey breast-side up, on cutting board. Carefully cut turkey breast in half lengthwise, straight through breastbone, or cut out backbone.
2
Smoke turkey skin side up, covered, until meat around drumsticks pulls back and thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 145°F, about 2 hours.
3
Mop with Rodney's Sauce, flip turkey, mop again. Break open rib meat to soak in sauce. Continue to cook for another 30-45 minutes, until thermometer registers 155°F.
Scott swears by his BGE, but his turkey can cook in a kettle grill or smoker at 225° or roasted in the oven at 325° until turkey reaches 155°F. - Food & Wine
