NFT: Smoking Turkey Today

DC Gmen Fan : 11/26/2020 12:43 pm
on my PBC. 12.5 lb bird. Planned on 4 hours. After 1.5 already at 145 degrees.

What do I do if it finished 3 hours before dinner? Wrap and put in cold oven?
Wrap in foil

Put in a cooler. Put old towels over the turkey to fill in the space in the cooler.
Jealous, I was going to smoke ours...

have a stall? I smoked one once, but forget - and maybe it stays at 145 for a while.
Not a lot of fat

So minimal stall
I once smoked 2 12lb turkeys on my WSM

We were shocked at how quickly they were done. Trust your temperature gauges.
14 pounder went on at 11:00

Stuffed cavity with onions and apples. Dry rub of garlic powder, salt/pepper, and onion powder. Tucked several slivers of fresh garlic in some small slits into the breast. Cherry and white oak wood chunks providing the smoke.

Wife making traditional Jewish brisket with onions and sauce, latkes, etc.

Hofbrau Oktoberfest on tap.

I roasted

a 25 pound turkey and it only took about 3.5 hours.

I use the alton brown method, so it was brined and initially cooked at high temp. One of the best tasting turkeys I've had.

It turned into a perfect grilling day in NY Metro

Doing it in my kamado grill.

it started clearing at 11:30 and I was all over that -- DC Gmen -- yes the Turkey will cook faster depending on how hot the PBC gets -- you must trust your thermometer!!!
