    Spatchcocked Smoked Turkey on Old Country Wrangler Smoker

    Thanks Mick! Who can argue with Aaron Franklin?! I'll have to try that as well. Like they say (KISS) "Keep it Simple Stupid" HA!  I do have to brag on your rub though. I brined my turkey in apple juice, water, maple  syrup, and black pepper. I made the rub you posted and used it liberally...
