smoking turkey

[jakester]

I dry brine and inject and i recommend both. It gives you a very moist and flavorful bird. A nice butter / garlic injection tops it off nicely!

Mine is saying 225 and about 6 hrs to smoke a 11-12 lb turkey? Does this sound about right? With a 165 IT?

Whats a good temp for smoking a spatchcock turkey?

I run at 275 but you could go as high as 325.

That bacon wrapped turkey looks fantastic!!! I'm speechless.

Thought I'd seen it all then someone wraps a whole turkey in bacon....

Good for you sir, good for you!

So how long of a cook should i expect for a 10lb'er at 275?

Spatchcocked a 17lb bird. I've been reading that they cook a lot faster that way but don't know any rule for it. Trying to get a 3 pm dinner. TIA.

If you spatchcock it, I would guess ~2 hours.

I'm doing 2 17 lb'ers and I'm figuring ~4 hours @ 275.
