Smoking a Turkey

After waiting 4 days for my turkey to thaw in the refrigerator. I then waited another day for my cooking oil to become infused with the garlic. The remaining ingredients were added and I was ready for the injection. I pumped the bird up with the garlicky concoction until it looked like a balloon on the verge of bursting.

Next came the rub. Massage the rub inside, outside, and under the skin. Tomorrow I will do the smoking. I'm expecting it to take between 8 and 10 hours for this 10-pound turkey.
