Round kettle-type grills work the best. Grill must have a lid with vents.

- Start fire in grill with appropriate amount of charcoal and allow it to burn until coals are covered in ash while you get the turkey ready.
- Remove neck & gizzards, reserve for other uses if desired.
- Rinse turkey inside and out, pat dry.
- Rub turkey skin lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt & pepper.
- Pull wings up and tie tips together behind back to keep them close to the body, so they don't get over-done. Tie legs together for the same reason.
- Divide charcoal into two piles, one on each side of the grill.
- Place the turkey on the cooking grate in the middle of the grill (not directly over the coal piles.
- Place turkey on grill breast-down. Halfway through cooking, you will want to flip it.
- Place lid on grill. This is VERY IMPORTANT. Leave vents open half-way (more if you have trouble with the coals going out).
- Cook turkey 11 - 13 minutes per pound, adding appropriate number of coals each hour to maintain temperature.
