So I posted a couple of weeks ago about wanting to practice a turkey for Thanksgiving. I wasnt able to get my hands on a bird till last week. Let it thaw early in the week, put in the a brine for about 14 hours, seasoned and set in the fridge uncovered for about 18 hours and put in the smoke this morning. Im using my AMNPS with the mailbox mod. Now fired my MES30 up and got it up to 275 but when I put the bird and the CBB in the temp dropped normally to about 230 and I closed it up fast. Im a little concerned because when I came back about 30 minutes later the temp was at 185. Should I have let the bird and the CBB come to room temp first? The temp is rising (have it set to 250) slowly but surely. Ill post some pics when its done.
