You know what. I thought about both of those things, because I do both of those when smoking other things. Problem is, I followed an online guide for this turkey because it was my first. I wondered why they didn't mention either of those things, but went on with their instructions anyways since I figured they knew what they were doing. Next time I'll trust my instincts. Not sure whether to chalk that up to inexperience or lack of confidence, but lesson learned either way. Thanks for the advice.
