So the wife brings home a large ham and this funny looking little Foster Farms Herb Turkey Breast Roast.  Her plan, (obviously I have not trained her well enough yet) was to put the turkey into a Crock Pot and ham in the oven.  

Needless to say, as I notice there is sun out and a balmy 45 degrees in Portland, OR today, I rolled to CG Duo out of the garage and put that baby to smoke.

Running a short brine session and then drizzled with a little EVOO and the herb in the package with a little extra Pacific Sea Salt and some Rocky Mountain Spice.

Going 350 degrees and shooting for the internal pull temp at 160.  Have a little hickory on board with the wood/charcoal lump from Trader Joe's.

 
Question I have: is the string mesh bag it comes in necessary? the last one of those I cooked all the string cooked into the bark and had a hell of a time trying to eat it, lol.
 
 
I too had that concern.  I did rub the whole thing down with olive oil and in places as I cooked it, I still seems to have pulled away.  I guess we will wait and see how easily it comes off at the end.
