I want to get me a rotisserie and try it. I’ve not ever done it and would be great to learn. Your Turkey looks excellent.
I just put two on my SmokeFire…fingers crossed. Wet brined them both overnight.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211125/e98076ab62bb81f0e40487b988a74ada.jpg)

Turkeys look amazing!  No cooking for me today, mother in law always cooks the turkey dinner along with my wife while we played with puppies, drank French 75s and watched football.  Life is good….

Hey Jones, how about resizing your pics.  My monitor isn't big enough.

Smoked a ham and 2 turkeys on the kettle for the first time. I did one turkey with a wet brine, the other with a dry brine. I thought the wet brine was better imo. It seemed juicer to me, but not by a whole lot. I also used a fire brick as a shield to adjust hot spots and it worked great.

The double smoked ham had excellent smoke flavor (used a hickory chunk and some guava branches in the standard coals) , but I feel the spiral cut ham could’ve sat out a bit longer before going in the kettle.

All in all a great Thanksgiving day with the fam, and another great cooking experience with the Weber kettle.

Capped the day with a good cheap cigar and nice pour of Whisky that a friend brought over. Lots to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Final analysis on wet brined Turkey is about 30+ people ranting and raving about the best Turkey they ever had…(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211126/aea57f04f019603a7586ffa1226ec3b8.jpg)
Done on the SmokeFire at 300, for about 3.5 hours…have the carcass to make Turkey chowder with now. Didn’t get any pics of it carved…I’ll do another soon, get pics then.

16lbs on the WSM and 13lbs on the Glen Blue. I did B&B Char-logs with apple and cherry chunks on both.
Not bad for being hungover!

Looks great! I've been having great success with wet brining turkeys and chickens.

My bad. Pictures look ok on app but just logged into desktop and see what you mean. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211129/fc89a2b64c37fb1b896937189bf03375.jpg)
