No, but smoked a Marlboro already.

What smoker/temp/wood are you using? Leftover smoked turkey makes killer turkey salad, fwiw.

I put a 13# on at around 8. It is cooking too hot right now (about 300). I am using hickory and cherry.

Someone posted this link Everything you ever wanted to know about turkey but was afraid to ask

Spent too much time last night reading this great link. Prepped 21# bird as directed in the link. Put it on at 9am BGE currently at 331F and bird at 76F. It's supposed to take 3.5-4 hours. I hope it comes out great since it allowed me to sleep in this morning. Usual wake up time on Thanksgiving is 5-530 for a long smoke.

Couple of chunks of Apple for a gentle smoke.

I'm 5 degrees from being done. The KJ has performed like a champ as usual. Can't wait to taste.

Took my 2 breasts off a couple hours ago. Wrapped in tin foil and put in an ice chest. Just brought them to the parents and sliced them up. They were awesome. Thanks for the help and suggestions on the brine. Im a believer. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I woke up and put mine on the smoker about 5:15. Turned out damn good.
