Brett, I have an 18.5 WSM. Don't know if the 17.5 lbs bird will fit. Which WSM Do you have?

I have an 18 WSM. If it does not fit butterflied, I guess I can split the bird and use both racks. Any opinion on this? My main concern is drying out. I do have a Maverick remote temp. I plan to use.

We are planning on serving the birds cut up. Sliced breast and let and thighs separated.

I am going to be smoking my first turkey today. 17.5 lbs. It is a Butterball All Natural Fresh Turkey. Which of the two is a better way to smoke this bird, Whole (vertical or horizontal) or Butterflied? HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Fat side bottom or top? I've always heard top so the fat moistens the meat.

Thanks for the advice. I will follow your suggestions. I'll post results and pics later!

Bruce, I noticed 3/4 cup Paprika. Did the brisket have a strong Paprika flavor?

I am in need of expert advice. My wife asked me to smoke a brisket for Mother's Day to be ready to eat at 3pm. Has anyone smoked one using the recipe from the book Smoke & Spice, Braggin ' Rights Brisket? Also, how much time do I need for this hunk of meat, 9 lbs? I thought of smoking it this...

I noticed this post and would like to know if anyone can add any comments on their results of this recipe. I am thinking of smoking turkey legs tomorrow. This sounds like a great recipe.

Hey Joe, Good job. You can set the chimney on top of the charcoal grate to prevent any issues w/ the concrete. What are you going to try next? Ribs look good! Leave them on a bit longer next time for more tender meat.
