    Trying to smoke a turkey but my ET73 is WAY off

    At first, this is what i thought it was too...however, once i take the probe out of the bird, it says 101* while running under ice water. The smoker probe/temp seem to be accurate still.

    My First Turkey...need some advice

    thanks for all the info... but i may have had a small change in strategies...should i pick up a fresh free range bird instead? It's only $2/lb! Smallest one i can get though is a 15lb'r. Should i go the fresh route?

    Trav-thanks for the quick response. I've seen the slaughterhouse listed on a few threads, so maybe I'll give it a shot. In reference to the glaze, that would go on AFTER it was cooked to 170, right? or were you referring to brushing it on before putting it in the oven?

    My First Turkey...need some advice

    Help with first rib smoke

    You guys have been awesome. I just got my ribs and am getting ready to throw on a "store bought" rub for my first attempt. Pictures to come hopefully. On a side note...any good recipes for "Rocky Mountain Oysters" aka Cowboy Caviar?
