Does the skin have any crisp and look/taste good on a smoked turkey?

I wonder if it would be a good idea to put the quartered turkey parts in a 500 degree oven for 20 minutes prior to smoking to get good color and texture.

If you take some butter spray and coat the turkey every 30ish minutes or so it will have a crisp skin.

I do an oil spray myself. Butter is a better taste, but oil crisps it up nicely

Don't do that BEFORE smoking. Maybe after?

True about the smoke not absorbing as well. You gave me a good idea.

Spatchcock and straight to smoker. Every inch if the skin gets crispy
