smoked the turkey today. it was phenomenal! Not perfect, but very good. I brined for 24 hours then spatchcocked it an let it rest for 2 hours while I injected it with a ghee(the ladies in the house are on a special diet and no butter, but ghee is pretty good!) stock and some maple syrup. I also...
There is an easier way to get an excellent smoked turkey with yummy crispy skin too! A number of years ago I decided to use the gas grill with a rotisserie and the A-MAZE-N tube smoker. Set the grill to 350º, use indirect heat, ie no flame under the bird with the tube in the same area. If tight...
I love an awesome meat gravy, poultry, beef or pork.
But a great Thanksgiving turkey gravy holds a special place in my heart.
The rich and savory, silky smooth deliciousness of a superb homemade turkey gravy exponentially adds to the meal, and can save all but the driest bird.
It compliments so...
You know how they say helicopter parents are those parents that are always hovering over every single thing their child does? Well, that's me with smoking meat. I put something in the the smoker and I go nuts and obsess over it the whole time.
I been really wanting to break myself of this...

Had my wife thaw a turkey for me to smoke this weekend, and today was the day to play with the smoker.
Take one turkey and spatchcock.
Pat dry and rub well with a 1:3 baking powder/salt mix, then air dry in the fridge for 24 hrs.
Pull it out and inject it with Cajun Butter, then oil it and...
Good morning Wisconsin,
My brother and I are spooling up for a restaurant space, we have farted around making central Texas style bbq for a couple years now and thought we would give it a go.
We are currently running (1) 500 gallon homemade offset stick burner and (1) 1000 gallon homemade offset...
My wife stole my rub! She made her healthy style meatballs with half 99% Extra Lean Ground Turkey and half 96% Lean Ground Beef. She mixed in carrots, zucchini, pork rinds (lower carb binder) and my beef rub. Delicious and low carb. She also said they are only 1 WW Freestyle point each.
I've seen a quite a few done on the forum and they all looked great. So I decided to try smoking a turkey for myself. I bought this 15.5 lber. after Thanksgiving for 0.59 cents a pound, and let it go into a deep sleep until warmer weather came upon us. Cheap enough if I screw it up. It was...
Got a couple small turkeys to smoke, was going to do something with one and bacon. Would stuffing the bird with bacon work out, or do you think it would be a uncooked greasy mess?
Hey folks!
This is my first time smoking a turkey and I'm noticing something alarming. I'm cooking a 13 lb. bird keeping the temp between 225-240f. I have a probe in the turkey breast and I'm seeing the temperature rising rapidly. The bird has been cooking for about 2 hours now and it's...
Smoked our Turkey again this year, and I'll tell ya practice definitely makes perfect. Couldn't have asked for better results. Nice golden color and meat so juicy.... I used pecan wood chips this year and a very simple brine. Excellent results.
Hi All,
I'l got a 25lb turkey that the other half wants me to try smoking. I've got a char-broil digital electric smoker. The app (for the guided cooking) only goes up to 16 lbs, so I'm going to do it manually by just monitoring the temperature.
The turkey is brined, and will be injected and...
Greetings all,
I have a 30" Masterbuilt electric smoker and was designated to smoke a turkey for this year's thanksgiving meal to accompany the fried turkey someone else is doing. I have seen many different posts with different suggestions, temps, and times for the cook but my smoker maxes out...
Hello,
I am smoking a 20 pound turkey for Thanksgiving in my MES 40". I'm unsure what temperature I should smoke at? I was originally thinking 275, but the more threads and sites I check I see 225-240 is norm. What kind of timing should I expect at the lower temps vs. the higher temps? And at...
Going to smoke a 12# tomorrow, it came brined, got it thawed and washed and dried, sitting in the fridge to air dry overnight.
Going to inject with organic chix broth and melted butter, throw on a little salt and pepper, and toss a quartered onion, apple and a bunch of whole herbs in the cavity...
I've got a 14lb turkey that I plan on spatchcocking and smoking in my MES for Thanksgiving. What have others seen in terms of cooking time for a spatchcocked turkey around 14lb in an MES? What time do others recommends to use (MES goes to 275) and how long would it take to cook at that time?
