I decided not to Google it just in case, so thanks for the definition! It is in the 80's here - grilling season is really just getting started. It is hard to cold smoke when it is 97 degrees out in summer. Cold front coming in this weekend - it will be 68 degrees Saturday night.  --Lisa

Never Google an unfamiliar term. Google has a tendency to sometimes show images and brain bleach has not been invented yet. Urban Dictionary is text-only for a reason.

Amy Tim, I wasn't trying to be a wise ass, I've just never smoked on a Weber. Amy

Aside from the oxymoron, a Weber kettle is a fine smoker so long as you are not cold smoking. It is incredibly easy to smoke at a consistent 225F on up. It requires a large heat sink with limited charcoal with a firebrick dam to eliminate radiant heat from the charcoal.
I was thinking about 275 degrees with pecan wood smoke and a cold turkey for about an hour. Then finish by grill roasting at 325 using butter to prevent the skin from vulcanizing.

As I often do when you guys use terms with which I'm unfamiliar, I googled 'pegger', and I really don't think that's what you meant!   Oh no! Although that does explain a few things.... Of course, now I'm wondering how many people in Winnipeg know that the other definition exists....and more to the point, whether being the coldest city on earth (with a population of more than 600,000) might have led to those other goings on. After all, there's not much else to do when it's 30 below. Suddenly all of those sausage shops are taking on a new light....

I made the smoked turkey recipe. (In addition to a fried and baked turkey)
Brined it for two days. Tasted just like a smoked brined turkey. Not hint of Maple, garlic, bay, nuttin. Maybe I need to do the four day soak instead.

Frfank,
I was sceptical about that brine based on the eGullet Culinary Institute's course on the science of brining. Just like you, I was extremely disappointed in the brine and will use salt/sugar in the future.
On the other hand, my smoking formula in the Weber kettle worked magic. Yes, there was no rubbery skin to turn my stomach. The pecan provided nice smoke for an hour providing a mahogany skin. We oiled and raised the temp for an hour with breast down. A really nice bird.
My second bird was a Judy Bird recipe. It was wonderful and a fitting memory of her legacy.
