    When to pull a Turkey to avoid overcooking

    I like to pull my chickens or turkeys around 160 but 157 like Al said might be good for turkey. I think if you smoke it at 275 degrees your bird should be done in about 5 hours, 8 hours is probably way too long.

    Actually the smoke flavor was great (wouldn't mind if it was more smoke). I guess i'm just used to having a nice golden brown bird and with smoke you kinda of lose that.

    My Thanksgiving practice run

    There wasn't any sugar in the brine at all, but you might have a good point about putting the turkey into the smoker too early. It didn't taste bad or anything just darker in color then What i would've liked to have.

    My Thanksgiving practice run

    This past Saturday I smoked my first Turkey and overall I was happy :-). I dry brined for 2 days and then let it sit in the fridge overnight uncovered. I couldn't find any Tony C's injectable marinades so I just melted one stick of butter and 1 cup of Tuscan chicken broth and injected the bird...

    smoking turkey

    I dry brine and inject and i recommend both. It gives you a very moist and flavorful bird. A nice butter / garlic injection tops it off nicely!

    What temperature do you smoke your turkey at and why?

    With me sticking butter underneath the skin i don't think i will get crispy skin or maybe i'm wrong.

    What temperature do you smoke your turkey at and why?

    I guess i won't be putting it on the grill because I do not want to char the skin, I love a perfectly browned bird (not black) over crispy skin. I will be doing a dry brine for 2-3 days and then rinse it off and put butter underneath the skin and put it in the fridge uncovered overnight to 24...

    What temperature do you smoke your turkey at and why?

    I do like the thought of smoking at a lower temp to get more smoke on the bird. What about if I smoke it at 270-275 until breast temp reaches 140-150 degrees and then throw it on the grill at 400-500 degrees, i know that would get me crispy skin but will it dry out the bird? Cliff - when you...
