You gotta remember the differences in the exchange rate so a 28 pound bird Canadian would be about 18 pounds American.
'Tis the season for turkeys. I did a 12 pound Butterball last weekend (17 pounds Canadian) and it was great. Basically used the Cook's Illustrated method (breast down for the first hour then breast up for the duration). Left the water pan empty and used it as shield against flareups. It took around 2 1/2 hours at 325 - 340. Used a lot less smoke wood (1 chunk pecan, 2 of apple) so mine turned out a mahogany color.
Have a great weekend!
BTW - I know exchange rates don't apply to weights. Just trying to keep the conversation lively.
