I did a beer can turkey last year..very moist, how did you do yours??

 

[sterlingsmoker]

I inject with Tony Chaechere's Creale style butter all over the bird.Rub the bird with oil Shake on some seasoning rub and I Get my WSM up to 350* dome temp throw a chunk of cherry on for smoke and when breast temp is 165* I pull it out and let sit for 15 min or so. I also stuff the bird with sliced oranges,onions and apples before putting on the cooker. Moist and wonderful every time!!

That is a nice looking bird Terry! I was reading an E-mail from Sausage Maker claiming that larger Turkeys smoke better. I like 12-15 lb birds, how about you?

Thank you. I like temps 325* to 350*. I have no problem getting there in a WSM, all vents wide open. 2.5 to 3 hours later AWESOME TURKEY!!

I agree - AWESOME BIRD:-D. Do you use water or sand in the pan, leave the pan empty or what?

got a question!!! I'm doing a bird today, and it's been a long time since my one and only turkey test... do you just leave the thing on it's back the whole time it's cooking?

I just foil the pan catch the drippings and make awesome turkey gravy to go over the stuffing and mashed potatoes!!
