Turkey on the UDS?

[Radical Rick]

I would love to hear from some of you guys on your results on tips while smooking a turkey on your UDS. Pics would be even better, but all other details will be most important! 8)

I did a turkey last Thanksgiving. Spatch-cocked it, put salt and pepper and a little butter under the skin (really just a little). Smoked it, with a pecan and oak mix, on the top rack at 225 until it got to 175 or so (I don't recall exact temp., look around this site for the exact temp) Applied beer liberally to the chef (me) for a couple of hours.

Wife said it was the best turkey she ever had and it was the only way we would ever cook a turkey from now on...

2 brothers in law both said it was OK. which is high praise coming from them. Course the younger of the two did a brisket in 3 hours and pronounced it great, I thought a shoe would have tasted better, but I flooded it with sauce and then praised his homemade sauce (it was bad too). That's another story...

But, turkey on the UDS is great.

Have done several. I brine mine and run it a little hotter and don't forget to chill breast before cooking.

What a timely topic. I don't have a UDS but got a turkey. Under $6 at Walmart. I'll be giving it a go on the chargriller on Sunday if it thaws.

I did two on my drum last year worked out great! Rubbed down wrapped in cheese cloth for the first half of the cook then unwraped for the remaining.

Hey Norcoredneck...Where did you come across the bird rack...Is that venting heat internally??

I've smoked many a turkey on my chargriller. They always come out great. The little red, pop-out thermothingamajigs work pretty good too, lol.

Ive seen the turkey cannons in magazines, Norco, how do you like it?

My dad used to smoke a turkey every year, but I've never tried one. Y'all are motivating me, though. We have a turkey breast in the freezer right now...
