With the price of charcoal these days.....cooking your bird on the kettle is the fanciest way you can roast it.
Anything in the cavity before you truss Flave?
Kingsford prices have held mostly. I get 36lbs for just under $20 with tax. I use roughly 1/3 of a bag per cook which comes to about $3.30 in fuel. That particularly turkey came from Publix at $.49 per pound. So about $13.00 for a whole turkey. Not bad at all in today's market.
I think most recipes are really stupid. But to answer your question, I threw half an onion, half an orange, a bunch of ground pepper, salt, fresh parsley, handful of basil, and some thyme.
