Happy Easter!
I wanted to do a couple 12lb turkeys in my MES and decided to try them butterflied so they would fit better, I like using the bottom rack for my drip pan. These were frozen with a solution, so skipped the brining and only injected and mopped.
I also ditched the water in the pan and filled it with some crushed stone instead of the water as a heat buffer.
The temp is set for 275 and they are looking good.
Here is some Q-view, will follow up as things progress.
Butterflied and looking like a couple giant frogs!!!
Loaded in the smoker.
1.5 hrs. internal temp 123, mopped.
2.5hrs, internal temp 143, mopped again. Looking good
