TALKIN' TURKEY!! (The official/unofficial turkey thread) - Page 13

TravelingJ · 11-22-2012, 02:13 PM

I've had non-stop issues with the grill. The Jumbo Joe is entirely too small for a 10lb bird. So, I had to get out the sawzall and cut down the grate to lower it. Now I don't have much room to keep the charcoal on the sides. Temp has been a struggle the entire time.

Whatever it is that people use to make these like a WSM, I'm buyin that on Monday.

Love it. It's the color of a pretzel and it was juicy and tender and perfect.

Thanks to this thread, this is the result of my first try. It was great. Had problems keeping the WSM @ a steady 325*. Had to open the door a bit... Even with a pit controller. I think that the gallon of hot water in the bowl was holding the temps down.

Oooooh....something that I have purchased since I put up this thread is The Briner!

AWESOME tool for brining. I've done as many as 5-6 whole chickens in this bad boy and a pretty big dang turkey too.

Check it out:

Williams Sonoma has heavy duty brine bags (ziploc on roids). You get four bags (2 large, 2 small). They are great!

Thanks Wamp! Oh and thanks for the bump, some of us new farkers would have not found this map of genius!

I'm pumped to cook my first turkey!

Wampus · 10-21-2013, 10:54 AM

^^^^ YOU, sir, are gonna LOVE IT!

Pretty tough to beat a smoked turkey, IMO.

Smokeat · 10-25-2013, 07:28 PM

Smoked a 13 lb turk last year on the kettle. Taking temps with the thermapen in the thigh, like always, and I kept getting low temps. Took an hour and a half longer than it should have.

Bird was way overcooked, but the taste was awesome. Smoked turkey is the best.

Smoke Dawg · 10-25-2013, 08:38 PM

Do we get a turkey TD for the month of November?

Crotonmark · 11-03-2013, 12:39 PM

How do you setup the charcoal? Snake or indirect to the sides of the bird ? When do you need to reload the charcoal ?

Thanks
Mark
