Smoked Whole Turkeys?

Anyone know where to buy a smoked whole turkey in the Bay Area? I was considering Yat's fried turkey for New Years -- but have heard some very inconsistent reviews of those.

Would appreciate any direction towards a smoked bird. Thanks.

    Someone sent me a Burge's smoked turkey for Christmas, it was pretty wonderful and juicy. Room temp it was great

      I've seen them by the butcher counter at various Mollie Stones.

        Someone suggested Dittmer's in Mountain View and I am going to give them a try. Wolfe, I called Willie Bird and they had their answering machine on!

          Dittmer's is a great place. I haven't had the turkey, but have tried lots of the housemade sausages and cured meats. I've found them to be consistently tasty. I hope you report back to the board if you get the turkey there.
