Thank you

How do I do a 2% salt equilibrium brine? Sorry, I'm not a cook and don't wish my cooking on anyone. Guy at work said he brines with chicken broth and herbs.

How do you spatchcock? Any good videos? Do I put bird on a rack in a foil tray? Direct on grate? I do have a turkey cannon but not sure it will hold a 22lbs bird

Would the lumberjack pecan blend work, it's mostly oak like all their blend woods. I do have premium blend, competition blend, fruitwood, and pecan blend. I was thinking either competition or fruitwood. And no brine of any kind, correct? Since it's a 9% solution bird.

Not a Pitts and spitts employee, I live in Idaho not Texas. I'm a welder/fabricator and mechanic, the Yoder is built using heavy steel but they put a few measly tack welds on their grills to hold them together and told me they don't fully weld them because they would warp, not true at all...

Ok, got a Pitts and spitts 850. Seems to work as it should. How should I prep the 9% solution turkey? Brine? Dry brine? Just rub and butter under skin? Breast down for 1-2 hours then up till done?

Well, that's good to know. I'm not any kinda pro or even a good cook, so I just go by what I'm told. On fire up it smokes like a chimney but once it's settled in after 15 minutes it barely has any smoke, so maybe it's good. I just know my gmg produced way more visible smoke at 180 and the Yoder...

So, Yoder is going back Monday. When I cleaned it after 1 rack of ribs, the bottom of the whole inside was covered in 1/4" of Ash from lumberjack pellets. Also noted the heat diffuser warped and welds on it cracked. Yoder really needs to hire people that know how to use a mig welder, the welds...

What about non spatchcocked, cause I don't know how?

Thanks for the replies, unfortunately the Yoder I got is a junker so it's being returned for a refund so no smoked turkey this year. Now to find a grill that is actually built with some semblance of quality, Yoder is not.

Yeah, I live in northern Idaho. It gets cold, real cold(below zero and lots of snow) but I'd still like to pull it out of the garage and smoke ribs or chicken, or a pork loin on weekends. Yoder ys640s is going back as it's just not right to burn roughly 18lbs of pellets in 9 hours, 1 hour at 350...

How's the headroom in a rec tec bull 700? Any pics of upright chicken or big turkey?

Anyone have issues with height in the rec tec 700 and turkey?

At least the gmg worked good for a few months, I think a temp sensor was bad but they replaced the controller which didn't help and wouldn't replace the sensor so I got my money back. Yoder won't reply to emails so the distributor is refunding my money.

I had a gmg Daniel boone for about a year. Worked well for a few smokes then was all over the place, even when duplicating recipes, sat unused for 6 months then was returned for a refund. Just purchased a new Yoder ys640s and it's going back as 1 rack of spare ribs took over 8 hours at the...

Is it safe to smoke a whole 22 lbs bird? That is the smallest I could find at the local store. It will be on a pellet smoker using lumberjack fruitwood or pecan mix. Temp/time recommendation? Last year I did a 14 that was ok, minus rubber skin on a different pellet grill.

New here, from north idaho. Been reading reviews for pellet cookers. Had a gmg Daniel boone that worked great for a few smokes then couldn't keep temp. Ended up getting a refund. Purchased a Yoder ys640s and burned it in plus 1 rack of ribs. Used most of a 20lbs bag of pellets. Took 8 hours at...

The first one i did i brined, injected with butter i believe, rubbed skin with a bit of oil and some spices. Turned out decent. Was on a gmg Daniel boone, which went back to gmg for temp issues they couldn't solve.
