On the 8th day God created Smoked Beer Butt Turkey! Q-view!

[smoker matt 54]

I injected the bird with a Garlic, Herb marinade the night before and used the rest to marinade the turkey over night. (12 lb turkey)


I also rubbed a little cajun seasoning on before it hit the smoker! It kinda looked like a fat Batman turkey.




Beautiful 60 degree day


I cooked the turkey at 300 degrees for about 6 hrs and mopped it with some beer and leftover marinade


It turned out a little darker than I wanted (Looks more like Batman), but man it tasted amazing!

Thanksgiving in March!

Good Lookin fieldbird ya got thar (if a yardbird is a chicken.........) If worried of looks, could always put a little foil over the wings to keep from getting too dark. Great idea! Got one of them thangs in the freezer that needs "Doin"! Very Nice Smoker!!!

Great looking bird!! I plan on doing a turkey after I get some mods done. Right now I couldn't get my ECB up to 300 and keep it there unless I threw it on a bonfire.

Hey, are you sure "she" (didn't see any male parts) was at 300 degrees for 6 hours?

My beer can 12 pounders are done in about 3 1/2 hours at 275 to 300:-)

Nice bird, bet there's none left!!!

[smoker matt 54]

Yeah my smoker doesnt hold the heat very well, and its a cheap thermometer but it read 300

 

[smok'n steve]

Maybe the temp at the turkey was less---doesn't matter though, because sure looks like you had awesome BBQ!!!
