Orange Cranberry Rotisserie Turkey on your Gasser. We brined our turkey in an Orange Cranberry Brine overnight and then we put it on the rotisserie with a wedgie for a “Kiss of Smoke”. Four and a half hours later we had an Orange Cranberry infused Turkey that was moist and delicious from the rotisserie on our gas grill. ” Slow smoked and seasoned to perfection with Briggs True Citrus Pepper Seasoning. Pull apart tender, juicy with a “Kiss of Smoke” in every bite. This recipe will work on any grill or even in the oven.
Smokin’ on Your Gasser, there are a lot of fine gas grills out there; in fact there are more gas grills in America’s back yards than any other. We get a lot of comments like “I have a gas grill and I can’t do that. Or I can’t Smoke or do any “Low & Slow” cooks on my grill.
So with a little help from BBQ Pellets on Line’s Wedgie we thought we would show you how to do anything you can dream of on your gasser. We’ll show you how to do “Slow Smoking” and then “Low & Slow BBQ”. We are also thinking about doing some “Cold Smoked Cheese” then doing some grilling “Hot and Fast” all with a “Kiss of Smoke”.
The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. If you can control the heat you can smoke in anything, even a cardboard box.
Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on one of our Grill’s, but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood Pellet Patio Heater, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

What You Need for Smokin on Your Gasser:
First you need a grill that’s burners go front to back.
You need to be able to control the burners, by shutting off some of the burners while at the same time be able to control the temperature on other burners. I always light the left burner and turn the rest off. But it doesn’t matter if you use the left or right burner. You need at 3 burners with 4 being even better.
You need some kind of oven thermometer so you can see the temperature of the meat at/on your grill grate. Your hood thermometer won’t help, you don’t care the temp is up there, but you need to know what it is where the meat is.
I use a Maverick ET-732 that has 2 probes, one for the meat and one for the grill level.
Then you need a “Smoke Box” and the “Wedgie” (See Our Store) is a good one. The cool thing about using the “Wedgie” is that BBQ Pellets on Line sells 1, 3 or 10 pound bags of pellets so you don’t have to buy a big bag that will last a year and makes it easy to mix and match pellets for the smoke flavor you want. They have over 21 different pellets!

Cooking Directions: Orange Cranberry Rotisserie Turkey Smokin’ on Your Gasser
Remove your turkey from the brine and rinse it off really well to remove the brine or it will be salty. This brine was made with real fruit juices so I saved it to use in a “Water Pan” instead of water adding a bit more flavor and moisture as it cooks. Refill the water pan as needed.
Put your bird on your rotisserie, I left the legs bound and tied the wings with butchers cord so they would flop around as you cook it. Set it up on a cold grill and test the rotisserie to make sure the turkey turns freely. Oil the bird now and season with the Briggs True Citrus Pepper Seasoning to taste. The oil keeps the seasoning on the bird and helps with browning.
Set your water pan over a burner and push it under the turkey as far as you can and it still turns freely. I also put some foil down under the turkey to shield it from any “Direct Heat”.

Ok, now that everything is set up light your left and center burners on low heat and light your Wedgie. Low setting on this grill is about 400* (205c) and will vary a bit from grill to grill. And that’s OK because we are cooking to an internal temperature around 175* (80c). About 4 ½ hours on this grill.
When your turkey reaches an internal temperature around 175* (80c) pull it off, cover it and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. U.S.D.A. safe is 165* (74c) but I like the way it flakes apart when you cook it to a little higher temp. Keep in mind that the turkey will continue cooking for another 5 to 10 degrees after you pull it off the grill. I use a Maverick ProTemp Instant Read Thermometer for checking meat temps.
Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees (122c), anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

About our Recipes
We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Green Mountain, Sawtooth, Louisiana, Memphis, Royall, Traeger pellet grills, Char-Griller, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Pacific Living Pizza Oven, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.
The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can even do some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.
Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….
