the skin wasn't rubbery, it was crisp just seemed tough. maybe i am just not a fan of smoked skin. meat lovely though. i thought it was picture worthy. Smiler

Nice!!!. I always give the skin on the breast on my turkey to the dogs. I'll leave the skin on the wings and drumsticks though.

Lief,
Please elaborate on the Beer Can Turkey Stand. The bird looks awsome.

A few tricks:

Make sure the skin is very dry before you smoke the bird

Separate the skin from the meat but leave it attached

Put butter/oil on and under the skin

And most importantly, cook the bird at the highest temperature you can in your smoker. You will get crispy skin starting at about 325+
