I usually mix melted butter with a some Chicken and Applewood BBQ rub. apply to turkey and put remain mix in turkey cavity. put aluminum foil around turkey and put on smoker. Baste with juices in aluminum foil every 30 minutes. Cover when almost done.

I've never had deep fried turkey so I can only imagine how good it is.
Home Depot has an oil less turkey fryer. I sure am glad I was sitting down when I read this. You have had this deep fried delight?!?! Scandal.

I hadn't thought about putting the bird in the smoker. How long does it take?

Each year the BSA sell smoked turkeys. I've never been able to order early enough to get one, though.

I have a large smoker, but it takes depending on size of turkey 4 to 5 hours. I usually start about 9 am and take it off between 1 and 1:30. I let it rest for 30 minutes, as we eat about 2 pm, when we get the rest of the family here.

The smoked turkeys I have received destroy the skin. I would go with deep fried.

I hadn't thought about putting the bird in the smoker. How long does it take? SERIOUSLY? Seriously. We always fry them (for the last several years, anyway). It's so fast and they turn out so yummy, I hadn't even considered smoking one.

You have to cover the bird the last 45 minutes to an hour and make sure coals are not too hot. If the skin gets too dry baste more often.

Traditional roasted. But it's the stuffing that makes it. Even through this isn't a stuffing discussion, ours is awesome: Jimmy Dean sage sausage, pine nuts, spinich, mushrooms, water chestnuts plus the traditional onion, celery, etc, sauteed in butter with herbs all mixed with the breadcrumbs. The best.

A few years ago we rubbed up the turkey so it was all bronze looking, stuck a pair of sunglasses on him and called him Pauly D. Every year the turkey must do a dance. Not sure about this year though, there will only be a turkey breast. Can't have much fun with that.
