Richie, that's an awesome looking bird for a northern boy. I wish I had a neighbor like you. Mine are usually on the receiving end of a cook. Yours had excellent color and a really smooth finish.

Great job, Joe. :points:
 
Thanks Joe and Johnny B It was very moist my neighbor stopped by again yesterday 

Thanks for the points

Sorry I did not get any pics at my BBQ,I know

Yeah that skin looks great!

I've been failing on the plates pics for most my cooks now a days. Seems like the vultures, I mean guests have it gone before I can get it served!

Case my neighbors guest raved about it,so I was happy 

Thanks Richie
 
Great smoke and great photos!

Did you happen to get a temp check at 4 hours?

20 lb. turkeys are hard to do in a smoker unless you run your temp higher than normal (225° - 250°) which you did do.  290° was excellent!

There is a rule of 140° at 4 hours for uncured, fresh product, and I am sure you hit that mark perfectly!

Did your skin get crispy too at that temp?

​Pops Thanks for asking I always probe my birds before sticking them in,so I check ritually on temps as I progress.

IT at 4 Hour mark was 145* F I lowered the chamber temp after that for the sake of making sure the bottom of the bird cooked.The skin was crisp when I took it out to fridge over night.My neighbor used his gas grill to warm and recrisp the skin

Thanks for the nice comments and all your curing help
