I figured I would get my thread started for the day. I've got a 12lb butterball that's been sitting in a Texas Pete and butter mixture for roughly 40hrs. I injected the bird in the meat and put a good coating under the skin. My plan is to get the smoker settled in at 230 and cooking the bird to somewhere around 165IT. Here's the before shot...

Nice looking Bird !!!

Can't wait to see it finished !!

Better change the "somewhere around 165* IT" to "At least 165* IT".

Pulled the bird at 166IT. I cooked it at 250 for the first 3hrs and cranked it up to 300. Basted it with Texas Pete twice and then some butter about an hour before finish. Super juicy and very spicy. Turned out perfect.
