Crap on that. I smoked mine yesterday with a bacon wrap and apple chips on my masterbuilt electric. I let it rest for a couple hours then carved it up. It will get steamed up to temp later this AM. It will be amazing! I have been up since 4 though. I can never sleep right at my inlaws.

Need to smoke poultry at a higher temperature. It doesn't have the connective tissue and fat to break down.

20lb birdzilla, pre-brined from Trader Joe's. Not using wood, just hardwood charcoal. 325, should be done in 3 1/2 hours. Happy Thanksgiving!

It's on, watching the temp so to stabilize around 325. Preset says 165 but I pull it at 160.

15lb. Turkey @ 330. Will be pulling at 160 in the breast as well. I may have stuck the thigh in the wrong spot but I don't want to pull the probe out.

Smoking a 10# turkey right now with a pecan/cherry mix at 250. Will probably try to finish in the oven for crispier skin.

13 lb'er on the old smoker a few minutes ago. Adding hickory in a couple hours. I like the medium and longer cook to draw some flavor out of the bone marrow but still leave a lot for broth later.

No extra brining, rubbing, seasoning. Just bird, charcoal, hickory smoke. This method has worked well for us for 50 years, no reason to change what works.
