We do the Jamie Purviance Brined and Barbequed Turkey with Pan Gravy in his Weber’s Charcoal Grilling book. Been doing it with excellent results since 2014.
I knew the weather wasn’t going to be good, but had no idea how bad it would be. Temperature wasn’t too bad at 34 degrees, but the rain and the wind was unbelievable. Constant 35mph winds with gusts to 60mph. Moved the performer to the covered patio. Doing an indirect cook I could not get the temps over 250 reading with my maverick and I needed 325 -350. Started at 1 pm and at 4:30 the bird was ay 160. I took a peek and it looked good at 5:20 it hit 165. We went out to get it and when I lifted the lid I was shocked, looked like it had been cooked in a garage fire. Skin was black and one of the legs had fallen off. I though no turkey for us. Let it rest for 30 minutes and decided to see how bad it was…… Except for the one leg it was perfect the breast meat was moist and tender.
Won’t ever try this again if the weather is going to be bad.
Try not to gasp when you see the cooked picture.
Nice fifteen pound butterball used 1/2 the salt the recipe called for.
