I have been allotted 1 to smoke & 1 to cook in the roaster. That way if I mess up the smoked 1 it will be OK...... ( LOL )

I tried smoking a turkey once, but they are hard to keep lit!




Thanks. I'll be here all week, try the veal.

You must of had a cheap turkey. Next time try one of the cuban turkeys. They stay lit better. Lol

 

[Admin]

Thanks.

I'll try that, but I think you have to go to Canada to get them.

Last year, 'da wife bought a big turkey a couple of weeks before the holiday and gave it to her mother to take home and fix for the big family dinner at the in-laws on Thanksgiving day.

We have a cabin about 20 minutes from her folks place, but wouldn't be getting to the cabin until late Wednesday night due to my work.

Thanksgiving morning about 10:00 a.m., 'da wife calls her mother and asks "What time are we going to eat today?", to which her mother replies "When ever you get done cooking the turkey and bring it over"!!!


....needless to say, we had hot dogs for Thanksgiving dinner last year!

This is the way to cook a Turkey, added bonus the dressing is amazing too!

This is my FB profile pic!

Great thread by the way, I suspect you will save at least one Thanksgiving with this thread, possibly ours!

Gotta go make sure our Turkey is out too

 

[snowbuff]

Now that is one handsome looking turkey!!!

 

[cobalt_502]

Sure enough my wife left today and FORGOT to take out the Turkey!

Thank you Thunderstruckk!

Hey John...isn't Canada just a hop, a water skip and a jump away from you to get those Cuban turkey's?

Wait, I remember no more jumping with that bad back of yours...better send Lenny!

How long does it take to cook the turkey on the grill? That looks awesome. I would like to try that.

 

[cobalt_502]

They say that you should cook it about 15 minutes a pound ( 1-Bacardi and Coke per lb works too) with indirect heating. I usually close the top vent almost all the way and leave the bottom vents open. At the halfway point add about ten coals on each side, I preheat them in the smokey joe rather than adding fresh coals. That was a 22lb Turkey in the pic, notice the square scar on the top, that was from the cover touching it LOL. This year we have a 19lb Turkey, that should fit perfectly.

Thanks for the info. I think I might try that out. After 1 Bacardi and coke per pound I may not remember what the turkey tastes like.

 

[cobalt_502]

Perhaps?
