turkey

I saw this at the store tonight, last minute decision. Decided to go ahead and grill it indirect using apple wood for the smoke. I bought several Island Spice turkey rub marked down to $1.50 each a few months ago, wanted to try the rub. The rub was great!!!! The turkey breast only took about 40...

Hi all, Hope everyone is good and nearly ready for any big Christmas cooks... Was hoping for some help... Whilst I have had my fair share of pork, beef and ribs in the WSM, I am yet to brave the Christmas bird being chucked in there...until now. I am traditionally roasting the turkey...

I made a 15 lb bird for a client's holiday party. Used LarryR's maple bourbon brine for 24 hours as usual. Got the silver C set up at 8am and I left to take my son to school. Got home at 8:30 to start a ham on my mini (sorry not pictured). The genesis was 300 degrees with only the front...

Hello everyone, Executive summary;): Is there room to stand the turkey on the top rack and have a drip pan on the bottom in a WSM 18.5? I'm thinking that the turkey will be about 15 lbs. I'm also not sure if I should have any liquid in the drip pan to prevent the drippings from burning. I just...

Hi everyone, first post ever (!) but I've been reading this site for years. Tomorrow about 20 of our closest friends are coming over and I hope to provide them with a feast! Here's the game plan: 5.6 lb brisket Going to try a new method I just read about: Rubbed the beef tonight, going to...

Back at Thanksgiving I picked up a turkey cheap and threw it in the freezer. My plan is to practice so I can be ready for the big day this year. I injected and rubbed with butter and rubbed with Italian Seasoning and cherry wood for seasoning. It was a 12 pounder and only took 3 hours. I...

This was not only the first turkey I have ever cooked, but was done on the WSM at 250-275 with a hint of peach wood! Turkey was rubbed with butter under the skin, and then a coating of oil on the outside with Salt, Pepper, Garlic, Rosemary and some lemon zest. I did not want to put stuffing...

Busy weekend in cooking! Saturday, I grilled up a nice choice flat Iron steak. Sunday, I smoked a turkey on the grill, using Apple wood for the smoke. I picked up a Jennie-O brand turkey at Fresh and Easy, on sale for only $.59 lb. This bird, was about 16 lbs. It only took 2 hrs for the breast...

I usually cook my turkey whole on the WSM 22, but I've been reading about how great spatchcock birds are! I would love to hear some experts opinion!

This past Sunday, my wife and I, did a Thanksgiving practice run. I am glad that we did a practice run. I am confident going into the BIG dinner now. We bought a #12 pre brine bird, and injected with Tony Chachere's Creole Butter and rub it with Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. 22.5 WSM was...

This is the first turkey I've smoked. Thanks to those to helped me in http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?46049-Turkey-Cook-Time-Question . I brined a 12 1/2 pound bird for about 12 hours in a mixture of salt, sugar and poultry seasoning (thyme, sage, marjoram, rosemary, black pepper and nutmeg)...

I decided to try a turkey this past Monday, don't want to wait until turkey day and then ruin it. I bought a 9+ pound turkey and loaded up with KBB. I did a 4/5 chimney of lit KBB and spread it on top rather than my usual can method. I was able to maintain 325, most of the time it was closer to...

Over the past several years, I have deep-fried a turkey for Thanksgiving with great success. However, I wanted to change things up this year & smoke one on my WSM. My wife is a fan of the deep-fried turkey, but wants me to try cooking one on a new Butterball Oil-less Turkey Fryer instead. We...

I saw some one do this yesterday. If i could remember who i'd give credit. Walking thru the grocery I saw some turkey meatballs and recalled the post so I grabbed em up. I put a thumbprint in each one and added some cheese, bacon, and a homegrown, home pickled jalapeño Rolled em up and...

Cooked up some turkey burgers, they were Jenni-o brand, added some cheese, etc. A nice, simple quick meal! Here are the pictures. Seasoned with Trader Joes South African Smoke spice. Good stuff. On the grill. Turkey burgers looking good. Added some cheese. Time to eat! Thanks for...

Ok... first photo contribution to the site! Sorry, I intended to take better photos with my real camera, but it started raining just as my smoke ended, and hungry kids were not being patient. That's also why the platter pic is a bit light on meat. This was a 12 pounder - freebie from BJs...

Tomorrow, we have Thanksgiving in Aug. It's just a way to get the folks together to build the team. Since we can't drink at work, food is the next best way to do that. So, I volunteered to smoke the turkeys. Turkey breasts to be exact. I fired up the chimney with Royal Oak, went with an empty...
