Hey guys,

I need some help.I just acuired a 11-13 # turkey from someone who's freezer went out.So I need to do something with this thing.My smoker's heating element is acting up so smoker is down.I do have a weber kettle I was thinking on using.So any tips on how to go about this?Thanks

Thanks for the link!How long do you think it will take to cook this bird?

Seems like it was right around 3 hours.....Took the breast to 165 internal temp..

thanks for the help guys.I am going to give this a go.Mike did you buy those charcoal baskets,or make them?I might have to look into those,seems like they would help out quite a bit for the minion method.Thanks..Josh

edit.Never mind on the basket question I just found what looks like yours for sale at amazon.
