Pretty happy with the result!
I have a friend who did a fried turkey for the first time this year too. They burnt the shit out of it.

Forgot to report in. My turkey came out good. Not great, but I was happy. Brined it with most things listed earlier. It got to temperature faster than the 13 minutes per pound time frame. That gave me pause, but I ultimately trusted the thermometer. I probably left in just a little longer than I should have.
I made my own gravy from the drippings. It was an interesting flavor, and it took us a few tastes to get what it was. I took the citrus from the brine and put it in the cavity. That lemon and orange flavor really infused with the drippings. It gave it a kind of cool, citrus flavor.
Pumpkin pie was good. Made my own whipped cream which is always fun to eat.
So, I bought a black stone griddle a few weeks ago, I may never use my actual grill ever again.

Yes. I bought a hard cover that covers the actual griddle and then a cover that covers all of it. It does have the grease trap in the back, but yeah, it’s worthless. I love everything about it though. It’s great.They are amazing especially for entertaining. Assuming you got the newer model with the grease drain in the back? My only complaint with mine was that the grease trough was kinda worthless, and cleaning it was kind of a PITA.
Just make sure you have it under cover and don't trust a "weather resistant" cover to provide any sort of real protection against rain.
If you haven't already I would definitely recommend getting a set with spatulas, a scraper, a bottle and a dome cover like this...
Cheese up a burger, squirt some water around it, cover and the cheese is melted in seconds. Also nice to have water to squirt to clean/scrape gunk off as you cook.
My favorite things to make...
Breakfast - backn, eggs, hashbrowns, pancakes, etc
Smashburgers
Fried rice
Philly cheesesteaks...really any kind of hot sandwich
Totinos Pizza rolls...if you are drunk at a bachelor party and the strippers get hungry...ask me how I know
Also note that you can put a pot on it to warm sides like baked beans...I had a cheap steel pot and a crummy chefs knife that were exclusively for the 'Stone.
