I cut him in fourths and put the rubbin' on him tonite, and will smoke his parts tomorrow on the Weber, over an oblong cake pan with water in it, with coals on both sides of the width of the pan.

I make a marinade of Worcestershire sauce and a nice brown ale (Samuel Adams is always a good choice...) and season the turkey with sea salt, coarse black pepper, oregano, and garlic powder, then into the oven it goes. Then I can make a very flavorful gravy from the juice for the mashed 'taters.
