Car Wash Mike, if your going to cook the turkey in the egg, tie it off tightly so that the stuffing doesnt soak up smoke or maybe cover it from the start with foil, you wont get the good crunchy parts at the outside edge but it will reduce the smoke making it bitter. a piece of stainless wire is what i use to tie it off, prewrapped around a piece of pipe, see my post under unsolicited posts below and you will get the idea. i usually cook 2 smaller birds, 18 pounds, one in the oven with stuffing, the other in the egg similar to mad maxthis is a newengland recipe, you would have to order the seasoning, its a pretty local product here for suffing i saute 2 small onions and about 6 stalks chopped celery jimmy dean spicy log fried drained and crumbled bag of bread cubes 1.5 tablespoons or more bells seasoning chicken stock to wet bread, dont get it to soggy and dont press, squeeze it and it wont be fluffy 1 egg stuff birdyou can add to this, walnuts, cranberries, whatever you like
