holly cr*p..a 30 lb turkey..are you sure its not a small ostrich???..well anyway..you need to make sure that big bruiser gets to 140 internal temp in 4 hours to kill off any bacteria or germs...the largest bird i have done is about 14 lbs...there should be some uds pros here shortly to answer your question

It's way too big!

You would have to spatchcock it, and even then it would be close.

I just got a 30 lb bird also. I was thinking about cutting the breast meat away and just smoking them. Anyone have any feed back on this would be better than smoking it all as one.
