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.



I do this quite a lot on my BGE. I call it smoke/roasting. I only do it with things I want just a touch of smoke on like chicken, turkey, or steaks. I have a breast that I'm going to put on around noon. Cook it at 350 using the plate setter and throw a little apple and pecan wood in there for flavor.

IMO, turkey lends itself better to using a higher temp. Low and slow is for breaking down connective tissue. Not a lot of that on a turkey. You risk a dry bird.
