First smoked turkey

[dirtyruss]

Alrighty, it's 5:30am time to get her fired up for her first turkey.

Just after 6 and into the vertical she goes. Starting with apple and gonna transition to hickory.

I plan to fire up the offset to smoke some more dried peppers first, then keep it ticking over to smoke a turkey breast.

Let us know how your bird turns out!

Just fired up the wsm myself, first turkey as well.

Looks very good. I'm doing my maiden voyage on a WSM too.

Man you guys have got an early start! I'm still trying to get some coffee down. I'm about to fire up the joe and get Rollin. HappyThanksgiving!

Mine turned out delicious. Did an apple cider brine for 24 hrs before smoking. The white meat was a tad dry, but had to foil and put in cooler for 3 hrs before carving so I'm thinking it continued to cook for a while.

Yeah they will continue to cook. I pulled mine out at 160 degrees tented it with foil and it climbed all the way 177 degrees just sitting on the counter.
