Post your 2012 Turkey Pictures here.

I only have a picture of one of the half breasts we sold at the restaurant. I did cook a couple on my brother's Weber gasser. Those came out great. No brine and apple chips in a smoker box.

Turkey with coconut rice, and some potato cheese thing my wife came up with. It was my second shot at turkey, and by far the best and juiciest that I've ever had in my life. Hopefully mom doesn't see this. :tape:

And let me add, it was tuff getting the wsm up to 325, very tough. I even used lump, all vents open, 1.5 cans of lit to start her up. Great smoker it is, but that's it.
 
Crunchy

Mayhap it was the sequence of events....

I had the same general setup I see here a lot, took it to 165 internal & rested, and it was not nearly a moist as my lovely wife's oven roaster. Possibly because her's was Mennonite and fresh and mine was Purdue's

I was pretty pleased.
You should be. I'm doing similar tomorrow to restore my ego (from experience) or finally bury it, if the above turkey was any indication :doh:

Am I too late to the party? Here's my submission: smoked at 325 for about 3 1/2 hours on the Primo Oval XL. I've had my cooker for about six months now, but every time I cook I'm still surprised at how moist and tender this food comes out.

Bryan, surely you didn't get those from Sysco??

The raw breasts were from Sysco. I smoked them and put them in Foodsaver pouches for reheating. Maybe I should sell them back to them because they don't have this.
 
Cooked a 16# inhanced bird. Injected with creaole butter the night before. Added creaole butter to the cannon. Rubbed with salt,pepper,garlic powder and onion powder. Cooked on the drum for about 2 1/2 hours then wrapprd in foil until breast hit 165. Yum Yum

Just did mine today. It was in the mid to upper 30s to the very low 40s and it was a pain getting my WSM above 275 even without water. I was shooting for 325 but never made it. Went through a bag and a half of charcoal and took 5 hours to cook. The skin was like leather but the meat and pan gravy from drippings were excellent! Not sure about cold weather cooking in this rig.
