Some of the links on this forum allow SMF, at no cost to you, to earn a small commission when you click through and make a purchase. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
Kurt, I can appreciate you not liking the ads, I don't like them either but they ARE necessary. No ads, no forum.
I have provided a super cheap way for you to remove ads if you want to do that via a premier membership. Many sites do not offer that option and definitely not as inexpensive as the...
Pit Boss sent a BL 1000 to try out and I had the same issues. They were supposed to send out a new controller but I never saw it. I generally like Pit Boss and Louisiana Grills equipment but I think someone dropped the ball on this one.
I've heard more than one complaint about these shutting...

Doug, Our main intent is to help everyone who has a question about smoking meat. So if we don't have the resources anywhere on SMF, then yes, get them help in some way.
Great question!
I'd like to ask everyone's help on this.. we've had a long standing rule that we don't post offsite links unless it's the only possible way to help someone.
For instance, If someone needs a recipe for pulled pork, don't send them to another website for that recipe.
Instead, find one on SMF and...
There is a caveat to my breast down scenario above.. I do everything as indirect heat as possible.
However, If you are cooking in a smoker/grill that allows the heat to hit the turkey head on instead of indirectly, then breast side up would be the preferred method to protect it from that direct...
I don't know if it makes a major difference but the thinking is that gravity causes the juices to run down into the breast during cooking where it's most needed.
Most of the time, this is the configuration that I use.
One thing I mentioned in another post and wanted to add it here as well.. even if you don't care about spatchcocking the bird (cutting out the backbone so you can open it up like a book), a turkey is SO much easier to separate into it's individual parts once it's laid open.
Wanna smoke a turkey...
A spatchcock turkey will not fit on mine.. it reduces the height but doubles the footprint.
I haven't tried this but I'm thinking if you cut out the backbone, opened it up and then divided the turkey into 2 halves, one of those halves might fit assuming your square inches is about the same as...
A tip for this recipe.. I wanted to show the brine being made a gallon at a time for the video but you can also make the brine right in the water cooler. Double or triple the recipe depending on the size of your turkey and the size of your container. My 12 lb turkey required 2.5 gallons to cover.
I have the country smokers tabletop version which is owned by Pit Boss but it may not be the same model or size as the one you have.
A whole 12 pound turkey will definitely not fit on mine but perhaps if I cut it up in pieces I could fit a lot of that on the grate.
