I’m up but not smoking. Throwing a turkey roll in the oven later

I'm up early but the bird will go on later. I brined mine yesterday(22 pounder), rinsed it well last night and injected it then it went in the fridge to air dry before I season the outside then onto the Pit Boss in a semi spatchcock. The carcass WILL be made into stock for a turkey andouille gumbo.

Up since 3 am. Turkey will go into the smoker at 6 am.

I spatchcocked my 14lb turkey. I'm thinking 3 hours with a 30 min rest. So I'm aiming for 8:00-8:30.

I have a 14 pounder as well. Sitting at 250 on the KJ with a mix of sugar cane and hickory. Smells damn good.

Chimney is lit. Will build the fire soon. Spatchcock 18lber, a 6lb breast, beef tenderloin and some wood ducks to follow.

Just curious why you put it on so early? How long are you thinking it's going to take?

Where do you get sugarcane? I could just get some from a sugarcane field but is there a certain time of the year to get it?

If the grill is up to temp by 5 I usually pull it off by 9 or 10 and then let it cool to slice for noon. And I get several hours outside with no one bothering me.

I got the cane at Ideal Market on Airline in Metry. They have it every year around this time. $4 for a 6’ stalk.

Woke up at 3, went to work out, about to make Mac n cheese then light the egg. Who’s drinking? I don’t think my grill will light without a beer in my hand

Two 14 pounders are on and looking/ smelling great.
Posted on 11/25/21 at 6:20 am to Lambdatiger1989
Just put two 18 pounders in the WSM. Spatchcocked. Not eating until mid-afternoon so I’m fine if it takes some time. First year smoking two.
