Hi All,
I smoked a turkey for the first time yesterday. In a word, it was AWESOME. I used a Brinkman charcoal pan with the Weber water pan foiled and just set in the Brinkman pan. Temps were kept around 300 and fairly easy to control. 14 lb. bird was done in 3 1/2 hours! It was done a whole lot faster than I expected. I used Pecan and Apple chunks with RO lump. The Turkey was a little (OK a lot) darker than I would have liked, but the taste was execellent.
Now for the question. If I wanted to smoke two turkeys at the same time on the WSM, would I need to put the top bird in a pan so the juices did not drip onto the lower bird, or keep both on the grates? With two, do you swap their positions about halfway through the cook?
Thanks,
George
