13 lb. fresh hen turkey, some Chupacabra and smoked paprika on the skin, B&B briquettes, apple and cherry wood chips on coals at onset and at the 25 minute mark. Added eight briquettes at 1:30 mark. Grill has been largely holding 300 degrees but am giving her a little nudge here down to the stretch.

Might have to bite the bullet and get a rotisserie kit.
Interesting, the airflow through the bottom of the grill is sightly different with the new Master-Touch/rotisserie ring, lid thermometer was reading lowish versus what I’m used to with my old Webber MT but turkey was ready at 2.30 mark
Edit: I think the lid thermometer temperature may have been affected by my slight rearrangement of the charcoal baskets toward the rear of the grill.
Doing exactly the same! I’m using the Onlyfire, and the limit screws on the tines have come loose a couple times because of the weight of the bird. This looks like a different system. Maybe those lock down better.
Tempted to get a rotisserie kit, idk what I’d cook on it though. I cooked chicken on the grates the other day and it come out seriously good.
Only way to do a turkey! (WSM 22” with rotisserie)

First time with the Weber kit, won’t be the last. Can’t wait to try shawarma on it!
Same here. 20th Turkey day on the same Performer. Last 5 with the rotisserie. I don’t think I’ll ever go back. The bird cooks faster and is way moister.
