Nothing special here, just thought I would smoke a 7 lb turkey breast on my OTS. For this cook I am using Stubbs charcoal and Stubbs chicken rub. For the snake, I stacked charcoal 2 wide and 2 high that wrapped around about half of the grill, with three chunks of pecan wood on top. I read a post where someone removed the skin and just seasoned the turkey breast, so I thought I would try it. Here are some pics:

Overall, the bird was excellent. It was very juicy. I think for the next cook I will leave the skin on and just season under the skin. I liked the Stubbs charcoal, it didn't seem to create as much ash as KB. I didn't take a pic of the snake at the end but it only burned about half of the snake in two and a half hours. Anyway, I've got some good leftover meat for sandwiches. Thanks for looking.

Good looking cook, can you share a little more info on your starting product? I've been looking for an "un-enhanced" whole turkey breast product.
 
That looks amazing! I'm gonna try a turkey breast next weekend.
 
Looks delicious! The color on the turkey breast looks fantastic!
