Grilled Turkey

I have learned a few things about grilling Turkey. First, never invite people over to celebrate a new recipe you have never tried before. Anyone can find a recipe the sucess comes from completing it. Second, be patient nothing kills the mood more, then waiting the 3 hours to cut open a raw turkey, especially since any cooking after this point will only dry out the Turkey. Third, make sure your grill is hot enough and make the effort to keep it hot enough (I wouldn't recommend lighter fluid, while fast, it does leave an unmistakable flavor on the bird), you can leave a turkey on the grill all day, but it doesn't matter if you don't have hot coals. Fourth follow directions like "Never Salt a Brine Turkey", if you cook a perfect turkey but add too much of even a good thing like salt it will be ruined. And Finally remember that one perfect turkey can make allot of bad bird worth it, so keep trying and learning from experiences. I think the concepts of these rough failures can be applied in pretty much any compartment of life. Hopefully the lessons will be learned on something as immaterial as turkey.
