Probably keep the temp around 220 or so and rub it hourly. It should take around 6 hours or so for a a 14 lb bird.

this sounds good...the link posted is also good.

i don't have any real secrets for a rub. salt, pepper and some kind of poultry seasoning the wife has on her spice rack.

usually, if i'm smoking a wild turkey, i slice up a few apples and jam them all inside the bird to cook along w/it. sometimes, i pour honey over it.

damn, i'm getting hungry and it's not even 9am yet.
