Title: My Turkey
Post by: Harleysmoker on November 27, 2017, 06:34:11 PM
Cooked a Jennie-O 14 lb turkey on the WSM using Weber Charcoal and no smoke wood. No brine (as the label indicated 8% solution), straight out of the package and rubbed with olive oil, sea salt, blk pepper, and a little bit of Plowboys Yardbird. Set up the charcoal with my Pizzaque screen and dumped a half chimney of lit charcoal on top. Target temp was 325* but the smoker ran about 300* until the rain came and dropped to 275*. 4 hours later the breast hit 165* and thigh around 178*. Turned out great, very moist and good flavor. Looking back I should have lit a full chimney to get the temp up but it turned out good regardless.

Looks delicious!  I wondered how a turkey would turn out without brining. Thanks for sharing.

Nice turkey. And I like the sarcasm of leaving the popup in the breast, but using electronics to track temp.

The floor jack as umbrella stand is genius.

Lol, the floor jack has helped me more times cooking than lifting cars.
