I tried it and it smoked really bad, so much so I ran to the store and bought a different brand. Maybe I got a bad bag or something. I'll throw a couple of pieces of the Western charcoal to mix in what I usually use but so far not a fan of it.

I cooked one like this a month or two ago. I was hesitant for a very long time to give it a try but one week tri tips were dirt cheap so I decided to give it a go. I was pleasantly surprised how good and tender it was. My wife loved it since she hates seeing any red in her meat.

I absolutely love Weber's Roasted Garlic and Herb Seasoning on pork. Garlic is surprisingly high in carbs especially garlic powder but the label on the spice jar says zero carbs per 1/4 tsp. To count macros using it I just use the one for garlic powder. A lot of seasonings I still use has sugar...

I have done it a couple of times, I used Montreal Steak seasoning too. Mine were thawed and I believe I did 3 hours. One I seared on a grill and another I seared in a CI pan. It been a while since I did it and it didn't wow me. I still like to cook them on the grill but it is fun to try new things

White bean chicken chili, just substitute with turkey. I usually make a salsa verde sauce and use it instead of just some diced chilies http://www.thecookingguy.com/cookbook/white-bean-chicken-chili-healthy-recipe 1 medium yellow onion, diced 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon olive oil 4...

An Instant pot is an electric pressure cooker and more. It is a slow cooker, pressure canner and you can make yogurt too! I think it is the only that does not have a nonstick pot. I don't like using nonstick if I can help it. I love using mine to make soups, pasta dishes and it makes awesome...

I use my Instant Pot mostly for side dishes and soups A few good you tube channels for the instant pot that I like https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9c1J3W3L8zRSk9lysRdB3w https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5Y7PfFgs0ke_m6TSeLYQMQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWP5zYusIJqJCK27A0NlAKg

I can't remember if I have done a turkey this way but I have done a chicken stuffed. I turned out good and the only thing that really stood out that I remember was it took way longer than I thought it would. Sorry I can't be any more help, I did this a long time ago.

I log on now and again but I have migrated to that evil place called Facebook and post there.

You can use it with the Vortex but you are gonna burn off all of the seasoning on your CI grates where the Vortex sets below them because it gets really hot! The only time I use the Weber grate is when I use my Vortex

When I tried it I cooked it on a UDS, so no water pan, I did not flip it and I'm guessing my cooking temps were around 300-350 degrees.

Darn you Clint, I don't need your help spending my money, I do too good of a job of that myself! :) Just ordered one

I have done it both ways, couldn't really tell a difference, presentation of a Spatchcock turkey has a sort of cool factor just because you don't see it that often.

Those look really good, gonna have to give those try!
