is Blowin Smoke!
hi guys, I'm going to smoke a turkey in my UDS tomorrow for Thanksgiving. Its a 13.3 pound bird. I'm not looking for smoking tips are brining ideas. I already know how I'm going to prepare the bird with a beer butter onion injection that I have done on chickens and it is absolutely delicious and juicy. Then I'm going to rub the bird with a dry rub mixture. I will do this tonight when I get home from work and start the bird early tomorrow morning. I have two questions should I cook this at 350 degrees like I do a chicken or should I cook it low and slow at 220 degrees for a lot longer time? My next question is how long do I cook it? I know a 3 pound chicken usually takes a couple hours at 350 degrees. I just need to know whether to start this smoker at 4 o'clock in the morning or 6 o'clock. Thanks guys!
