Recently bought beef ribs at Costco - excellent value - came pre-seasoned

Hosted a BBQ yesterday. Over 50 people RSVP'd, so I had to crank out a ton of food. Decided to go all in and smoke 4 meats---an 18lbs beef brisket (pre-trimmed), 3 racks of pork ribs, 2 bone-in pork shoulders for pulled pork (17lbs pre-trimmed) and 18 pork sausages cut into 36 half pieces.

Prior to this, the most variety I've smoked in one BBQ was 2 styles of meat. To do 4 meats on one 650-sized Traeger (and two kitchen ovens and a food warmer) required me to sit down and write a whole schedule out. The Traeger was rock solid and did a great job. With the food warmer, I was able to serve all 4 meats hot and fresh.

In the past, I've always grilled sausages on a gas grill. This was the first time I tried smoking them and I have to say they were really good! When prepping the pork shoulders, I cut each one into 3 pieces so I can get more surface area to spice and ultimately get more bark into the pulled pork.

Anyway, it was a bit of a juggling act to get it all done on time, but I was really happy with the results. The crowd ate all the ribs and brisket, 3/4 of the pulled pork, and about half the sausage.

Has anyone smoked a whole turkey before? Thinking about using my pellet Pit Boss smoker to smoke a big turkey (hoping for 20lbs) for Thanksgiving.

Any tips or tricks?

I have smoked six, 3lb turkey breasts before and they have turned out great each time for Thanksgiving. Now, I am wanting to try something new and a challenge.


Thanks!
