14 to 20 pounds turkeys, rinsed and patted dry
1 (12-ounce) can Fosters beer
6 tablespoons granulated garlic
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
3 whole chipotle green chili peppers in adobo sauce
2 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional)
apple wood chips

Preparation for the turkey: rub the garlic salt and pepper all over the outside and inside cavity of the bird open beer and remove about 2 regular swallows. Push pepper (s) into can of beer, 1 tsp. garlic and rosemary sprig(s) into beer also. Carefully push beer can into the cavity of the bird, then stand the turkey in a 12-inch deep Dutch oven. Carefully set the Dutch oven and bird into the bottom of a Weber kettle B.B.Q. and place hot ready briquettes around the Dutch oven. Use a charcoal chimney full of briquettes for the turkey. Scatter wood chips over charcoal and place the lid of the Weber on top and bake the turkey for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until meat falls off the bones or thigh juice runs clear. DO NOT LIFT THE LID UNTIL AFTER THE FIRST 30 MINUTES! Carefully remove bird and Dutch oven from B.B.Q. let rest 10 minutes before serving. You can save the juices to make a remarkable gravy for mashed potatoes or stuffing!
