My 5000th post. Thanks for listening to my babbling and thank you wkc.
Today I hosted Christmas and I cooked a turkey and a ham. I didn't get pictures of the ham but it turned out very good.
The turkey was incredible. No brining no injection. Just some seasoning and a small piece of apple in the coals. Very juicy. I went back to using my diy large basket on one side slightly biased towards the dark meat end of the bird. I like using one large basket because i only have to refuel once on a three hour cook. I maintained 350 most of the time.
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.

I haven't tried putting anything in the cavity on the roti yet. I kept this one pretty simple. Ham and ham gravy is more the focus on our Christmas. The turkey provided some variety and holiday fun for me.
What do you recommend for the cavity?

Normally I'm not a big turkey fan. I prefer duck or goose. I would think a few sprigs of rosemary along with some citrus would work well, just to keep the interior moist.

Quote from: Darko on December 26, 2018, 03:48:24 PMWhat's your procedure and spices for rotisserie duck? I've always done it with a traditional Chinese flavor. Might want to try a different flavor profile.
