Before I put on seasoning, I made a gallon on boiling water, then poured it over it the skin to remove some fat and tighten it up. It was amazing watching how the skin tighten up. Then I dried it and rubbed with Olive Oil and seasoned.

Never thought of pouring water on it to remove some of the fat. Brilliant!!

What sort of tool did you use to cut the turkey? It seems like that could be quite a job?
But that turkey turned out looking great!

Did it get done in 2 hours? I did one (12#) on the BFG at 325 and took a good 3 hours. Also had dressing, green bean casserole and turkey stock on at the same time. Maybe why took much longer?

Curved jaw "tin snips" like these work great, especially because of the compound action. Come in left or right hand configuration.

I have a set of kitchen shears. Not the scissors from the knife block. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TKYWDFK/

Thanks for the info. I think I have something like that around here somewhere. Time to start looking.
