Just a 17 lb bird

[Mike Freel]

This 17 lb turkey wanted to sit on my smoker. It was the centerpiece of our Thanksgiving meal

Nice! Here's mine, smoked on an Oklahoma Joe Bronco drum. Cherry wood chunks. Only 10 lbs.

Excellent cook Mike

I also have the OJB drum and LOVE it!!! Haven't tried a turkey yet, but it's on my wish list. Did you use the deflector plate, or just smoked over the fire direct?

Nice work Mike. I love the color of the skin and that it still fully covers the bird.

As a follow up the turkey tasted as good as it looked. The only bad thing was that everyone loved it and there were virtually no leftovers

Hi Jeff - I always use the deflector plate, and almost always use a water pan too. But it's not stock with the Bronco. Yes, the OKJ Bronco puts new meaning to the phrase "tight as a drum."

Yeah, that's why we usually do two turkeys - one for Thanksgiving and one for leftovers.
