I had family coming over for thanksgiving. Thought smoke two 11LB birds so have plenty of leftovers. Dad said have more coming than expected but should have plenty. Cleaned first bird with no waste and weighed yield. 2LB white meat and 1 LB dark. WOW we are going to be short. Deboned second butterball and exact same yield. Im documenting 27% yield out of turkey so not short next year. Read better to cook two 10ld birds instead of one 20lb bird. Next year smoking two 15 LB birds and hop can get on smoker at same time.
