My side of the family is celebrating Christmas tomorrow, so I made a big bird. Cured for 4 days, smoked at 240 for just over 6 hours. Pulled when the breast was at 167 and the thigh was 172.
20 pound turkey cured and smoked

Richie, it really wasn't as pink as I thought it would be. There was a nice pink tint to it, but light. The taste was spot on though. Everyone agreed that I'll be making them like this from now on. This was the first time I had done one like this for my side of the family.
So, I got over to my Uncle's house and discovered that I had left my carving set at home. I figured my redneck uncle would have a few knives and such, but I was wrong. Only steak knives at home, all other's are in his hunting box and that's at the camp site. So, he got out his electric knife, it's dead! I went out to my truck and got my skinning knife to do the job... It worked well enough.
That is a beautiful bird CB! Please post pics of the meat once carved...

We all have that one relative that has to try and taste everything you're working on, he didn't try again once I explained just how sharp my knives are...
The rest is just pics of the meat all cut up. The pic of the dark meat looks kind of funky since there was a LOT of fat on it, I cleaned it up, but didn't get a pic...
CB I bet that still tasted great,now I know why I carry a fillet knife in my truck. Points
