Pulled out the WSM and dropped on a 14lb turkey at 11:30 this morning for dinner at 5 tonight.  Last night I slathered the meat under the skin with Tony Chacc and injected with creole butter and a tiny touch of Frank's mixed in.  I've done 1/2 dozen turkeys or so at this point, but this one seems to be cooking pretty quickly.  Considering it went on at 11:30 at 43 degrees and an hour and 15mins later its already registering 109 in the breast.  Smoker's only running 240-246 so far.  I even moved the meat probe and changed to a back up pit probe as i'd had trouble with the pit probe a couple weeks ago.  I guess that's how it goes.  its done when its done! Here it is starting out when it went on...

 
just under 3hrs later and we're hitting 145 IT.  hopefully it will take another hour so i only have to cooler the thing for a couple hours.
