helpful tips

Get an internal temperature probe. Takes all the guesswork out of knowing when its done without having to open the lid frequently towards the end of cooking to check for doneness. Take the turkey off when it reaches 160 degrees and let rest for 20-30 minutes.

If you aren't picky about how the turkey looks when you take it off, get yourself a turkey v-rack. Place the turkey breast side down on the rack. The breast will be more moist since all the drippings will fall down on the breast. The downside is the breast will have rack marks and not look as good.
