    Any whole turkey smoking tips??

    FAIL!! Turned out way too dry. The issue I had was the interior temp stalled at 163.  Waited 1.5 hours for it to go up before I pulled in off.  Ended up tossing it in the garbage.  Pretty disappointing....  I think the temp way have been too low as well.  started at 250-270 then went to 225...

    Any whole turkey smoking tips??

    Awesome!! Thanks so much guys! What is the best way to get the WSM up to 325 and hold?  Fill the ring with charcoal and open all vents 100% including the top?

    Any whole turkey smoking tips??

    Skin will stay on.  Bird is a little over 15 pounds. I'll be sure to take the plastic thing off the legs so they spread out.  Also was thinking about injecting with butter or I have even heard of people using ranch dressing...  Is it good to use a chicken rub?  I made some that turned out great...

    Any whole turkey smoking tips??

    Hey everybody! I'm planning on smoking a whole turkey within the next couple of days in my WSM.  The bird is currently brining in the garage fridge (salt, sugar, pepper and chipolte chili).  Was planning on pulling it out of the brine and rubbing it tomorrow then letting it sit over night in...

    I had no problem.  The transmitter rests on the plastic handle of the aluminum access plate.  Didn't feel hot.  Also, I believe the transmitters are "rain proof".  At least that's what I read in the manual.

    I'm going to guess these thermometers suck...  Kinda bummed to see condensation in there and the temp is way off.  I'll be looking into a River Country thermometer for sure.

    Yeah.  I think I'm going to leave the foil off.  I'll hit them with butter instead.  I saw spacecowboytx on youtube do it this way and they looked amazing.

    Just fired up the new WSM 22.5!  Totally excited!  Going to smoke 3 racks and two whole chickens today for the games. !!Go NINERS!! Here they are! Fat side down.  Gonna let them sit there for about 3 hours (holding pretty true at 235) then I'll hit them with some parkey squeeze and cola...
