I have a 20 pound bird going in the WMS this year, I'm thinking about spatchcocking it...Does anyone know if it will fit on the top grate of an 18.5 Weber opened up like that?
Hey guys, I have a few questions and this seems to be the best place to ask. I have been smoking a turkey for about the last ten years. I currently inject the turkey the night before with Cajun Butter seasoning. This has kept the bird really moist and adds lots of flavor.
My biggest issue is the skin, it normally gets really dark and doesn't turnout so well. Some of it has to do with the long cook time, some comes from temperature spikes when i add more wood. I have recently read, for baking a turkey, if you put slices of bacon on the breast, then uncover it for the last couple of hours it will keep the skin from getting too far. Have any of you tried this? does this work well on a smoker?
Another thing i saw today was an herbed turkey. You make an herbed butter and put it in between the skin and meat. This was for an oven roasted turkey. How well would this work on a smoker with the longer cooking times?
Ah, that time of year where people burn their houses down deep frying turkeysAnother year has gone buy and Thanksgiving is here again. Get those turkeys bought and thawed out. Let's see what ya got goin' this year.
Have fun.
I don't know how to smoke a turkey, so this will have to suffice.
Yep, ya don't thaw out a frozen Turkey in 375 degree oil. It goes nuclear in 3.2 seconds.Ah, that time of year where people burn their houses down deep frying turkeys
My sister tried one at my house once. It was thawed, but too much oil. I still have that oil stain in the driveway.Yep, ya don't thaw out a frozen Turkey in 375 degree oil. It goes nuclear in 3.2 seconds.

Yeah...my intelligent son-in-law deep fried one on my back deck one year...about set the wood deck on fire. Glad I was prepared with a large bag of playground sand to dump on it.
I have fried several hundred birds over the last 35 years without incident. Once you go fried, you never go back.

11 pound turkey is in the brine. I'll smoke it tomorrow morning along with a pork butt. I plan smoking it till the color is right then place it in a aluminum pan, cover and braze in butter and broth.
