still debating this but Keri's post have me thinking of doing it if i use the following brine recipe..how would you adjust it to account for the bird being pumped?..and how much would you increase the recipe to soak a 20lb bird..thx dp Apple Juice Turkey Brine...

also about how much time for this 20lber? sorry for all the questions but it's been a year since i smoked a turkey i plan on running the bullet as hot as i can get it with a foiled pan

thanks again and a couple more questions if i use the polder in the breast and take it off AT 160, will the whole bird be done? and what about resting the bird..time, position, foil, cooler, etc?

thanks to you all..I'd forgotten how great this site is Doug..thanks and I won't cram it Jim..I will try to make the herb butter since I still have a few days to experiment Kevin..thanks and have a question for you..I am coming to Lake Okeechobee in mid Feb. for 5 days of bass fishing...

have a 20lb. frozen Butterball so no brining can anyone suggest something good to rub under the skin? (im no chef and have never made herb butter before) what is a good overall rub for the outside? what aromatics would you suggest going into the cavity? thx for any help or suggestions

it will go for 6 hours at least

Andy, dont clean it just get a nylon tire brush from an auto place to brush off the flakes for the grates try just wire brushing like on a regular outside grill I used to clean mine like crazy..now rarely

vinegar based all the way

you got a foiled pan under that butt?

would be awesome to smoke a 16lb hunk of pork

Bruce, i have 2 butts just that size ready for smoking..did you do anything special to get them both on the one grate? thx enjoy the Kamado

Doug, i have always trimmed as well and all my butts have been good ..a recent dry picnic got me thinking about this no doubt im going to try this real soon BamaBob..let us know the untrimmed results
